Here is a patch to fix a compile problem with Altivec enabled on 
PowerPC based systems.

When compiling Altivec code 'vector' is a reserved compiler word. The 
code in svq1.c uses vector as a local variable name.  This patch 
changes the local variable to 'vect'.

A note to anyone who is compiling under the GCC distributed with 
Yellowdog Linux 3.0. Altivec is broken.  I had bad artifacts using 
MPEG4.  I picked up a development version of 3.3.4 "(GCC) 3.3.4 
20040405 (prerelease)" and everything looks great.
