Compiling avifile

[Bill Davidson]

Actually, it says on the website that binary packages don't work well. 
Apparently there's a lot of optimizations that have to be made when it's 
compiled. that's probly why most vendors don't include it. 

On another note, you need to run ./configure with --disable-gcc-checking 
as an option if you're using gcc2.96. I got a rather strong message 
regarding gcc2.96 until I did that. I think it said "gcc2.96 is not and 
never will be supported" or something like that.
