Since filters are COM objects, we can embed them in separate dlls but this
would kill the concept of a generic libavcodec wrapper.
And anyway this will not help us that much because the libavcodec is a big
one peace of code and this would require to rewrite the building system to
split codecs.

What I think of is putting all codecs that can benefit from libavcodec
into a wine-quartz-avcoded.rpm which contains one (1) q_avcodec.dll which can
register all these filters.

So just 1 add-on RPM to install additionaly.

Since this can be provided by external contributors a distributor would not
have to worry about libavcoded related problems.

Ciao, Marcus
