very nice work! :-)

i'd vote for including this, however not in libxine.so.

there is a lot of code here, with thousands of conversions we may
never use. so i believe we should create a libxine_swscaler.so
instead. any plugin using it would cause the library to be loaded, we
don't need to worry about it.

besides, embedded users can package it separately and dependencies
will be taken care automatically. i have libxine (opie mediaplayer2)
running in my zaurus, it was the first app that worked for playing
mp3s. xmms embedded just crashed. in opie, they packaged each xine
plugin separately so user can choose exactly what kind of media he
wants to play.
