Are we sure about that for all cases? I have the default pyglet installation
in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages, and development versions in several
locations on the hard drive. Currently they all use the save version of
AVBin, but this isn't always necessarily the case.

I would argue the current behaviour (hardcoded path to AVBin) is an
unfortunate hack, and should be remedied. As is, I can't use the standard OS
mechanisms (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH) to replace the default AVBin.
Replacing this with a hack to another non-standard location seems like
a decidedly less than ideal solution.
