And soon ac3dec.c will need those tables as well.  I like it as-is.
Having the common ac3.o object compiled if the ac3 parser is enabled
seems like an okay thing to me...

Also, if those declarations are removed from ac3.h, they should be made
static in ac3tab.h and the ff_ prefixes removed.  But I don't like doing
that anyway.

The current setup is essentially like having the table data in ac3.c
since that's the only file which includes ac3tab.h.  It just provides a
little more functional separation than putting it directly in ac3.c.
