the .asm files contain platform-specific optimized assembler versions of
existing c functions. to experiment with xvid (ie. get it working) you
do not need to rewrite these. you only need to rewrite them if you want
increased performance.

and, as gruel mentioned, most dsp manufactures provide a toolkit/library of
dsp functions.

btw, we get a lot of enquires about compiling/using xvid on dsp's. it'd
be nice if these people would post their makefile/portab.h modifcations
such to benefit everybody?
