As if that wasn't enough, here is another update. This time it's passing 
the FATE tests, unlike the old one. In order to refresh your memories, 
this patch fixes the long-standing issue regarding not recognizing 
palettized QuickTime video in Matroska. I have created a new function 
get_qtpalette() in a new file qtpalette.c, that is shared by both 
matroskadec.c and mov.c. And just like before, I'm not really in the 
mood to learn Git just to contribute with these simple patches, but I 
would be happy if someone could take a look at it, and, if it looks 
decent enough, submit proper patches in the right format for Git.
