[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] improve PowerPC detection and CFLAGS in configure

[Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski]

Please consider the following patch. It is currently awaiting testing by
Patrice Bouchand in mplayer-users.

I have checked GCC docs and found that only GCC 3.4.x and above support
this target.

What do you think about adding "generic" optimization flags, like
-mcpu=common for unknown PPC CPUs? Obviously this would need to be
benchmarked first. I'm also thinking of (undocumented) -mtune=generic for
GCC 4.1.x instead of -mtune=i686 as a generic/fallback case.

Regards,
R.
