[mythtv] Compiler Tuning Flags

Just something I thought I'd pass on.......I had been having a problem of
Goom and some other CPU-intensive plugins crashing occasionally on my
machine. The crash would kill the frontend program without any segfault
messages or anything.
Just to see if it would make a difference, I changed the flags for the
entire mythtv (and plugins) compile to include not only "-march=pentium3"
(since I have one), but to also use the "-msse -mfpmath=sse" flags. In
addition to the the crashes going away, everything seemed to respond a lot
better and overall CPU usage dropped a bit too. If more people have
similar results, it might be worthwhile to change the configure script to
add these flags on supported systems.
