[xine-devel] Hello again & a question

[Jeff S. <why...@ya...>]

First, hello to everyone.  I had to get off the list as my wife was getting
close to our daughter's due date. Our daughter, Destiny, is now almost three
months old.

A couple of weeks ago, I heard about a color ascii art library called libcaca.
I always liked aaxine (in a geeky kind of way) and thought it would be fun to
do something similar with libcaca.

I studied the APIS's for xine video out plugins (which I have come to like
very much), and for libcaca.  I probably spent as much time making changes to
makefiles and such as I did writing the code itself.

Anyways, I have a plugin I am pretty pleased with, and a very primitive
xine client program for utilizing it (cacaxine).  More questions will
certainly be coming later, but I have one now.

What should I do with it?  Submit a xine-lib patch, or break it into
something that can be built stand-alone and copied into the xine plugins
directory?  The client should be sufficient for basic testing, but is not
ready to be included in xine-ui.
