It  doesn't work  because  the Makefile  supposes  nasm is  installed.
Anyway the xvid code  suposes mmx-xmm-sse functions are assembled when
ARCH_X86 is defined  (look at the xvid.c file). So  this will not work
in any case.

I think it's time to write an autoconf script to take care about those
things automatically. I know you  don't like autoconf because it makes
harder the work for both vc++ and djgpp.

 - *nix makefiles : linux x86 + linux ppc + linux ppc altivec + freebsd (x86 ?)
                    linux ia64+ unix sparc + irix + cygwin
 - non *nix makefiles : djggp + vc project

So we have a 8 *nix makefiles vs 2 non *nix.

Autoconf should handle well all *nix platforms at a time... this would save
lot of efforts maintaining the different Makefiles.
