The patch is great, and I only have one remark: if already dvdauthor
recognizes last filename character as special in case of program pipes
(i.e. <vob file="blahblah|">) then why not changing also this to
<vob file="5&"> ? I know, that it is inconsistent with shell FD naming,
but it would be more consistent IMO with dvdauthor conventions.

(imaginary entry in docs)
If last character of _file_ is "|" then _file_ is a program which is run
and its stdout is used instead. If last character is "&" then _file_
is a number of file descriptor to read.

Anyway, just my .02pln
