If the reason behind this factorization is sharing the code between
modules across several libraries and the function signatures are
unlikely to change, then using avpriv_ functions is justified.
The structs will be internal to libavutil, so the only thing tied to the
ABI will be the avpriv symbols.

Including the entire c file will result in unnecessary binary bloat once
this code is used for example in libavfilter.
