Ok. After thinking about it for one night, I agree with you.

Ok, I'll work on this solution. I'll need some time, but I hope to be
able to provide a new patch tomorrow.

Another solution I was thinking about would be to move av_log, av_malloc
& friends to libavutil. So, swscale would only depend on libavutil. But
I failed in getting a similar move accepted some time ago, so maybe this
is not the correct solution.

Good. I was hoping in something like this :)
