Revert commit r26897. XviD is the correct spelling of the codec. You can see it written in the codec own documentation and header files. Prefered name capitalization confirmed in conversation with XviD developer (prunedtree).

- check if these still matter & fix & apply the needed patches:
  - MPlayer-0.90rc2.rawyuv.diff - raw YUV (I420) video 'encoder'
    (checks requires for stride==width, and aligned planes)
  - bte.diff - something input plugin (uses fork() )
  - lavc_statsfile_errorchecking-patch - handle errors writing to logfile
  - fastermemcpy.diff - cacheline-size dependent 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
