	I have a rather old and not terribly powerful PPC machine (180MHz
603e chip, as I recall). I've just never really invested enough time in
getting an X server to work, though I'm pretty sure it would work.
Whenever I test the MPlayer video, I output to the PNG target. And
whenever I output frames from a Cinepak video, the color is messed up.

	However, I was thinking of getting one of those new-fangled
iMacs in the near future (next few months). Then I'll really be able to
see what MPlayer can do on the PPC platform.
