I think there are 3 options:
1) your patch, dropping support for MMX-only machines
2) my patch, supporting MMX-only computers, but forcing MMX2/iSSE
machines to use code less optimal
3) something than Ronald asked me, more generic, a bit more resilient
to such issues, but probably more complex

So indeed 3) is the cleanest solution, but involves something that
seems a lot of effort, for which I don't think I will invest much time
on (I have other branches waiting for rv40 stuff to be dealt with).

1) vs. 2) are probably a theoretical debate. I proposed 2) because it
followed my initial intention of providing the lowest denominator (the
MMX2 code would be very marginally faster than MMX imho)
