I needed to raise the build level for ffmpeg anyway to build.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/ffmpeg/trunk/Makefile#L176

I'm not sure here if sse is the "same" as AMD_3DNOW but I think they are

On the other hand ffmpeg does have cpu autodetect. So iirc it only uses
codepath it can use. But builds all code paths. For see I could be wrong
as I added it as flags

And I'm not sure there is still real hardware out that that does not
support sse/AMD_3dNOW it's from 98 or so.

It's not optional I think see above

I don't have any. :)
