I see a bunch of .dll files in the w32codecs tarball I got (there seems to be various flavours of it, so it might be that we're not talking of the same thing; in which case it would be nice to specify more clearly what exactly is being proposed for inclusion). I am sensitive to the "access to culture" argument up to a point, but including closed-source binary code that runs on the main CPU is quite far beyond that point; to be clear, it's in veto-land for me.
