Yes, that would be possible. Detection would be similar to the patch for
the sfst package (see #701510).

I decided to use the switches provided by libav upstream. Autodetection
of the various powerpc (and other CPU's) variants becomes highly
sophisticated and when they are added, it's easy to break things in
unusual environments. In this case, it's better to provide switches to
the (configure) user that leave her with some obscure failure.
