Yes I've already spend a lot of time to make it so easily portable to C
as this was my original goal as well - but as Arpi just wanted
faster solution I've prepared simplier and easier one...

yeah it's not - expect I want to have certain beauty in the code so
I do not want to just replace :: with _ :)
But as modification of plugin architecture requires some time - it's
postponned to 'after 0.6' release (which also has been already delayed
a lot)
As I mentined elsewhere - would be plugins in the encore/decore style
enough for you ?
(As I do not see any single point in compiling this 3 times for
avifile, mplayer, xine)
Anyway maybe we should really consider to create some standard here
(obviously somehow noone seems to accept gstreamer with theit tight
binding to C++ emulation glib2.0 C library)
I've proposed libmmxnow - but mplayer seems to be creating their
own compiler-time depended stuff - I do not have really that much time
to program nearly everything (though I'm trying as hard as I can)
but maybe xine team would be more cooperative here :)
(libmmxnow is not intended just for image processing - it should
be usable in the Sun's mediaLib style) and shall be crossplatform
