  This was my point.

  Well I bet if I did a libdeinterlace, libgamma, and
libremapchromaticities then xine would just copy the code into their app
(since nobody wants to download 500 dependancies for _my_ app) and so
would everyone else and any bugfix would take 5 years to propagate
everywhere. :)

  Oh, and then we'd argue about common APIs for plugin interfaces and it
would all just go downhill.. :)

  I think you're right though.  Instead of doing a libv4l that nobody
would use, we should work on having lots of libs with inconsistent
interfaces, but at least the code would be shared.
