Nexuiz is in contrib.

Same here. I really do not expect that enabling mmx will gain like 50%
of fps. Nice gain would be 5-10%.

Maybe this is the wrong way, but lot of people can test this. It is
about to enable contrib/testing repo (as i mentioned in thread about
enabling mmx for 3D games)


There is no problem with removing -mmmx,bumping tag and and uploading
nexuiz to contrib/release if there won't be any gain.
