I'll probably commit the short version or similar in a bit.

The main problem I see is that x264's ratecontrol code depends heavily
on an Xvid-style low-resolution lookahead, especially the VBV code.
I'm not familiar enough with LAVC's ratecontrol to know whether LAVC
has similar, but if it doesn't, that is a dealbreaker.

One thing LAVC might be interested is what I'm currently working on, a
trellis algorithm for optimal B-frame decision, which could be
combined with the RD b-frame decision in LAVC for even further
improvement.
