Re: [Libvisual-users] Future features.

[Dennis S. <sy...@yo...>]

Heya, ty for the patch, tho I am not merging it.

The defined() problems are fixed in CVS HEAD, however
I don't agree with your assembly fixes, it's not the solution
for the problem, can you possibly come up with something that solves
the problem at the core (aka fix altivec detection, and not disabling
it) ?

Cheers,
Dennis
