I envision two approached to fix this problem:
a. compile mplayer twice on powerpc and install as
/usr/bin/mplayer.altivec and /usr/bin/mplayer.non-altivec. Then a
shell wrapper that detects altivec e.g. in /proc/cpuinfo or
something is calling the real binary
b. compile mplayer twice on powerpc and install as
/usr/bin/mplayer.altivec and /usr/bin/mplayer.non-altivec. The
mplayer package's postinst will then symlink /usr/bin/mplayer to the
"right" binary.
Is one of the two an acceptable solution? If yes, which one is better?
