I'm not absolutely sure that the USE flags enable hand-written

Don't make it more difficult then it is. SSE, etc means the CPU
support a certain set of instructions. When you enable the use flag
for it, mplayer will make use of the instructions.
But, surely "-march=" also instructs gcc to support the additional
instructions. Suggest you re-read Daniel's post that I was replying to.
What's the difference between supporting the "certain set of
instructions" with "-march=" and doing so with USEs?
Or doesn't "-march=" support additional "certain sets of
instructions". What does it do, then?
