After Tahei didn't stop at this (big thanks from here!), we got a new
snapshot,

	http://mpg123.org/snapshot/mpg123-20140302115523.tar.bz2 ,

that will hopefully become mpg123 1.19.0 soon (not 1.18.x
because of feature additions regarding this very debian issue). The
main points:

- float output with all decoders (also arm_nofpu)
- ARM decoders (esp. NEON) working with debian toolchain
- new --with-cpu=arm_fpu choice with runtime detection to switch
  between NEON or normal FPU

So, the number of builds for optimal treatment of differing platforms
reduces to two:

1. --with-cpu=arm_nofpu
2. --with-cpu=arm_fpu

I hope we can all be happy about that. I'd also be glad to get some
confirmation from debian that it really works now. Release will be
imminent, then.

Thanks for staying with us with all the chattering about this ...


Alrighty then,

Thomas
