Hi,
This conversation is very entertaining but leads us nowhere. 
May I suggest to go down to business of enabling HW encoders by default?
Yesterday Mark submitted the initial implementation and I really want 
to thank him for his mentoring and participation - it was very useful. 
The submission doesn't have AMD header so AMD encoder is off in any default build.
I counted responses to my posts and found six people are for the default enabling 
of HW blocks one way or another: by including headers or pulling them out 
automatically using git (I guess via submodules?). 
Two people want to remove external headers and disable default HW acceleration. 
Question is: how to move forward on practical terms? I really don’t know how this team makes such decisions.
Or maybe it is impasse case and  all want to keep things the way they are today?
Thanks,
Mikhail
