I think it would be good to have some sort of plugin architecture that doesn't 
require the version of ffmpeg you're using to contain a reference to your 
source code, this allows you to more easily backport new formats/codecs/etc. to 
older ffmpeg releases. I'd be fine with having ffmpeg maintain a repository of 
plugins (could be in ffmpeg's repo, or separate) as long as you can point 
ffmpeg to a later version of the repository than the version of ffmpeg you're 
currently building. you'd also want to be able to use a local checkout of that 
repository of plugins so you can test a new plugin that isn't in ffmpeg's 
repository yet.
