well, it's mmx code and c code imitating the mmx behaviour (so it's a c
reference implementation for the mmx code). On MMX machines, the mmx asm
code is used and this gives an improvement. However the new c code (qpel.c)
is much slower than the already available c code (interpolate8x8.c). This
should be true for all platforms - I haven't tested it on any platform
besides x86, but I would be very very surprised if the new c code would
be faster on any other platform.

It doesn't build on unix?
