I don't understand the logic here. So the default compilation of ffmpeg on
*DOS (and such) should fail to run because you want people to manually
enable this memalign hack? Why? Is there ever a case that ffmpeg runs fine
on *DOS (and such) without enabling memalign_hack (and no, --disable-mmx is
not a sufficient answer here).
