[Flac-dev] Altivec, automake

[Josh Coalson]

finished hooking up the altivec stuff so it works in ProjectBuilder.
I ran a test, doing a 'flac -t' on 400MB of files compresses at
level 5.  the runtime dropped from from 180 sec to 105 sec!

once I get the latest autotools on my ibook I'll try and get
asm compilation to work that way.
