Yes I had been searching (errantly) like
$ ./configure --help | grep arch
it does tell me, I just didn't know how :)

Yeah I was wanting to target "all windows" users so, decided to take
the performance hit :)

Also of note is that the ubuntu "apt-get" mplayer seems to be compiled
like this:

--target=i586-linux --enable-runtime-cpudetection

Which is apparently not good then.
Thanks.
