trying to fix the reverting paragraph if you dissagree, dont hesitate to revert this commit or flame, but at least we should not claim that svn cannot revert commits except by recommiting the old version

TODO:
=====

CVS CLEANUP work:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- maybe remove .raw font support too
- remove -vf yuy2, yvu9
- maybe upgrade to liba52 cvs & merge in (or redo?) the asm optimizations
- change build & install stuff (cross-lib dependency etc)
  - re-design makefile dependency system
- we should switch to the patch tracker (roundup)
- fix & apply the delayed patches:
  - MPlayer-0.90rc2.rawyuv.diff - raw YUV (I420) video 'encoder'
    (checks requires for stride==width, and aligned planes)
  - of-raw-1.diff - raw audio/video stream dump 'muxer'
  - bte.diff - something input plugin (uses fork() )
  - lavc_statsfile_errorchecking-patch - handle errors writing to logfile
  - xine-lib-cvs-xvmc.diff - XvMC support for libmpeg2 0.3.x
  - fastermemcpy.diff - cacheline-size dependant optimizations
  - fire-x86-runtime-options.diff - en/disable (force) cpu features runtime
    (needs to be integrated with --runtime-cpu-detection en/disabled modes)
  - mga_vid_laced.diff - buggy interlace support into mga_vid
  - patch_sortsub_disable-1.3x.diff - remove --disable-sortsub
  - mplayer-0.90rc3-fixfbdev.patch - ugly hack to fix multiple file & -vo fbdev
- review and implement draw_slice() support in video filters

- fix vo_svga vs. -vf scale - DONE?
- Re: [MPlayer-cvslog] CVS: main/libvo vo_vesa.c,1.82,1.83

- cleanup qtaudio/qtvideo (move globals to context)
