[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] Add documentation regarding MIPS optimizations

[Babic, Nedeljko]

Hi,

My thought was that if user wants to see for what platform MIPS optimization 
was done and what license is applicable (s)he would first look at this place.

I will create new patch and move this in txt file.

I don't think it is a good idea to add this in the *user manual*
(also, why *only* ffmpeg.texi?)

I suggest to move this to a dedicated txt file in doc.
