So at least something like this is needed, but I think the VLCCORE is
wrong too, and maybe the deinterlace has to be moved to only merge.c
rather than all of deinterlace.

The CPPFLAGS are being clobbered with the -maltivec, which is only needed
when testing altivec.h, and should be removed again after that.

That removes the -maltivec that was showing up everywhere at least, and
now it is only in a few places, although perhaps still a few too many.
