I've updated the MMX patch [*] and while the C DCT took about 1800
decicycles, the MMX optimized one:
1068 dezicycles in DCTMMX, 16776031 runs, 1185 skips11884.2kbits/s    
frame=  101 q=-1.0 Lsize=    5725kB time=4.0 bitrate=11608.9kbits/s    
video:5725kB audio:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead 0.000000%

But no need to get excited, cause although the DCT is considerably
faster, the overall execution time remains the same.

Furthermore, I haven't cleaned this patch up yet, as I think it might be
wiser to focus first on getting the C version in the main FFmpeg tree.

With friendly regards,
Takis
