oki, maybe this plugin could be installed parallel to the existing vcd
plugin (while it is not completed) - simply by giving it a different
identifier ("VCDNAV" "VNV" ... wheter :-)) - just until you think it is
mature enough to replace the existing one (or is it already?)

no objections from my side. not sure if some other xine developer wants to
take care of patches from you (sorry, I don't have the time although I
find your work pretty important), otherwise please drop me a line and tell
me your sf user name so i can add you to the project.

cheers,
