	Is that a good idea I wonder?

	I see several things happening:

	1) The old executable is still around so now there'll be two programs:
	   'mplex' and 'mplex2' around - guess which one will be run either
	   out of habit or by newbies?

	2) Folks do remove the old mplex and then get constantly reminded of
	   the name change with "mplex: command not found" from all the scripts
	   that have accumulated over the _years_

	3) A symlink is installed "mplex -> mplex2".   Now both are present  ;(
	   Newbies who stumble across that situation might wonder what the
	   difference between mplex and mplex2 was ...

	;)

	Oh, one question:  is the release going to wait for Stefan to finish
	the rewrite of yuvdenoise?   It is a far superior version.

	Cheers,
