Optimized vorbis encoder for Linux (SSE instructions), I have built the binary - any interest ? Options

[The_Sven]

A quick look around the forum seemed to indicate that no-one has ever attempted to build Vorbis with Lancer optimisations for Linux ?!

So I spent a few hours fiddling and produced an executable:
- Linux
- aoTuV-beta5
- Lancer optimisations for SSE
- 32 bit (x86)
- statically linked
- around 3x faster compared to the standard aoTuV-beta5 build

I did not attempt to port Lancer's SSE2/SSE3 instructions to Linux because the difference between SSE/SSE2/SSE3 is minimal on the PCs I use.
(Intel Celeron M and AMD Turion 64x2)

Any interest? If so, I will post the binary.

Better yet, post your (I assume) cleaned-up sources, so that we can build it ourselves.

Excellent idea! I don't know how things work around here or in the Linux world, source-wise, as I'm very much a Windows person.

Usually I would commit my changes into a source code repository, perhaps with optional build switches, and then add a few more test cases to the regression tests to ensure that my changes won't break anything.

What I did to arrive at the current source code:
1. Downloaded aoTuV-beta5 source.
2. Applied latest Lancer patches.
3. Made mods so these patches would build on Linux.

I guess I would be able to produce a patch against the Lancer patches - but would this be at all useable to anyone?

Is it just me, or is distributing a set of patches just an absolutely horrid way to do things?
