Could the altivec init be made in such a way that binaries compiled on a
G4 work on a G3? I think I've reported this in the past, but just to
repeat myself: I've found that binaries of lavf/lavc compiled on a G4 do
not work on a G3; they appear to be using altivec code. I haven't found
any compiler flag that will do runtime detection of CPU. I do not have
this problem on x86.

Thanks,
Ronald
