I've made a few changes to this ebuild:
 - rewritten $DESCRIPTION
 - added $MY_P and changed $SRC_URI and $S
 - went back to ~x86
 - removed wrong media-video/avifile dependency
 - made media-libs/divx4linux dependency depend on a "divx4linux" flag [1]
 - made media-video/ffmpeg dependency depends on the "ffmpeg" flag
 - corrected media-sound/lame dependency
 - added media-sound/alsa-utils dependency (for amixer support)
 - added media-libs/zvbi dependency (for teletext subtitles support)
 - added $RDEPEND to $DEPEND
 - removed the "dga" flag: the --disable-xfree-ext option had no effect
 - corrected PERF_FLAGS2 into PERF_FLAGS
 - changed the sed command to something more robust to future changes
 - added a .desktop file
 - added the usual error messages to "die" commands
 - made all the lircrc.*.sample files to install as doc

[1] I (strongly) suggest this new USE flag for the following reason: it is proprietary and x86-only software which can easily be replaced by ffmpeg or/and 
xvid, which are better, faster, and closer to the spirit of a free source-based 
linux distribution. Hard dependencies on this codec were justified 1 or 2 years 
ago because alternatives were not mature, but now it's non-sense. Description of
the flag could be: "adds support for some proprietary and x86-only DivX codecs".
Now, if you don't agree, then the "divx4linux?" should at least be changed into 
a "x86?".
