	I said that -q should go away and an average bitrate be specified.
	Then you said we need a file-size mode:

	Now I have news for folks.  Bitrate and file size are related :)

	SIZE = BITRATE * TIME

	So given a bitrate and duration you can calculate the filesize.  Given
	the desired size and the time you can calculate the bitrate.  
	
	QED

	Not really.  Andrew was partially implemented a 'backup and retry'
	capability.  Only those GOPs that exceed the target bitrate would
	be recoded.  Could be quite a bit faster than a full multipass
	encoder - but alas that's also where the current bug lies ;(
