SPARC has been obsolete for a long time and makes little sense as a
H.264 encoding platform.

Also update authors file.

Also update AUTHORS file and my e-mail address in the headers of various files.

It probably wasn't used or maintained for last few years.

Small speed cost, usually a few percent at most. Generally has lowest cost in cases when it isn't very useful. Up to ~2% better compression overall on highly complex sources.

Also fix a few minor bugs in B-frame analysis and various bits of cleanup.

useless loads/stores and calculations of permutation vectors.
Affected functions are all of mc_luma, mc_chroma, 'get_ref', SATD, SA8D and deblock.
Gains globally vary from ~5% - 15% on a depending on settings running on a 1.42 ghz G4.

I don't remember why I allowed a gui into the repository in the first place. There's nothing that makes this one special relative to all the other x264 guis.
avc2avi doesn't compile since we removed the bitstream reader. And avc doesn't belong in avi.

Update AUTHORS file with Gabriel and me
update XCHG macro to work correctly in if statements
Add new lookup tables for block_idx and fdec/fenc addresses
Slightly faster array_non_zero_count_mmx (patch by holger)
Eliminate branch in analyse_intra
Unroll loops in and clean up chroma encode
Convert some for loops to do/while loops for speed improvement
Do explicit write-combining on --me tesa mvsad_t struct
Shrink --me esa zero[] array
Speed up bime by reducing size of visited[][][] array

 * Adds optimized quant and sub*dct8 routines
 * Faster sub*dct routines
~8% overall speed-up with default settings

"Here's a patch that adds some kind of rate control.  I suppose it is
 by no means perfect, but it's much better than constant quantizer.  It
 also has a very crude scene change detection that sometimes avoids a
 buffer underflow by reencoding oversized P/B frames as I frames."
