Anyway it works fine in my tests (for encoding, decoding part is buggy but
there is better faster ffmpeg for decoding so it doesn't matter)

but afaik it's still not GPL, has some files from old sources.

Yes, I've heard lots of goods about this stuff. And experienecd just the bad
sides... so, could you or someone else show me an code example, how does it
looks like? I mean which libs are required, how are translations handled
(separate binary data files? compiled-in?) and how does the printf() looks
like in the source when using it. How portable (including solaris, os/2,
etc)
