Smpeg and SDL_mixer

Pre built versions of SDL_mixer require smpeg so that the compiled in
mpeg/mp3 players will work. The sdl_mixer page on libsdl.org says it
requires smpeg, but it really is only a requirement if you actually
choose to compile mpeg/mp3 support in.

(My game, TuxTyping, doesn’t use any mpeg, yet, since it uses SDL_mixer,
it requires smpeg… which is a good thing to have on your system anyway,
IMHO :wink:
