comskip compiled for Intel64 runs 20% faster

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I took a run at building comskip from the etv-comskip source for 64-bit,
and it worked without a lot of hassle.  A quick benchmark on a half hour
program shows a 20% improvement.  ETV-comskip could add the 64-bit binary
into the fat package and users with capable procs would get a free
performance improvement.

The one changes needed are the ARCHFLAGS in the Makefile (add -arch
x86_64), and refreshing the libmpeg2 code.  What you have in svn right now
doesn't quite handle 64 correctly, but libmpeg2 0.5.1 has all the needed fixes.

Can you post your code somewhere for others to benefit from?

After having checked out the sources of etvcomskip I took the hassle to try to
compile comskip for x86_64. As brian pointed out libmpeg2 needs to be updated to
version 0.5.1 to let comskip compile properly. After some time of diff checking 
and
patching I was finally able to compile a x86_64 version of comskip.

I will attach it together with the patch against the latest SVN sources of 
etvcomskip
so that it may get integrated one day ;)

I take it this must be installed manually, where exactly does this go?

We're now using the windows version of comskip.exe directly (via wine),
so this is no longer relevant.
