That was my thought.  I'm already on it!  I've successfully got freevo up
and running (without smpeg).  Now I'm starting the endless configuration
stage.

I just did a search of the Freevo-devel archives, and on 2006-10-09 in a
thread titled "Re: Numeric or numpy", this was found:

        We sure don't need it. We need pygame in 1.5 / 1.6 and this may need
        smpeg. Maybe it is optional for pygame. We only need image and ttf
        support from SDL. 
 
        In 2.0 we will use much more current stuff: evas, imlib2, libxine,
        gstreamer.

Isn't this "proof" that smpeg is NOT required?  From Dischi himself.  Since
freevo only needs SDL_image and SDL_ttf (maybe SDL_mixer and PIL?) someone
really needs to update the dependency page.  It would also be great if,
during that update, each package has a description of what functionality it
performs.

I'd update the wiki, but I'm not sure how to go about determining the
dependencies.  If it's as simple as asking on the freevo-devel list, and
then posting the responses, then no problem.  Otherwise, I need suggestions.

Thanks!  It's all up and standing.  Now I need to sheath it and finish the
exterior (more time consuming than it sounds).

P.S.  Sorry about the formatting.  I couldn't figure out how to make it more
clear.
