[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] doc/general.texi: AviSynth+ works on Linux now, AvxSynth is gone.

[Stephen Hutchinson]

Related to this are the following changes:
* Mention the two methods that AviSynth+ provides for installing
  just the headers.
* Expand on users installing AviSynth on their system a little
  more.

This is the only patch that needed changes. I'll just ping the
other three.
