Yes, the second half of patchsets to make the transition to 1.1.x has
been posted to the mailling list, I believe the same day as I committed
my cosmetics. Reimar gave me feedbacks on it, so I re-worked them, and
posted a cleaner version.
So if you take my latest patchset and apply it to the sourcetree, you'll
get 90% of Edouard front-end, with the exception of a structure name
that I left with the previous "MEncoder name", not Edouard's.
Eventually, this could be fixed with another patch after the other one
will get applied.

Even though I could do it, it'll require me more time to understand the
code, and break the changes in smaller pieces. This solution is more
prone to errors than taking the rock-solid code of Edouard.
Plus, as I said many times, I do think it'll be good to shake hands with
the XviD team, and this 2nd solution isn't going in that direction.

Regards,
Guillaume
