If you want to do even more...
XviD (even the latest development version) contains and divx4/5 emulation
API that colides with the real divx4linux. Fortunatly this API could be
removed as it is only one C file.
I suggest you to make a check this way: if divx4.h is available in the
system this will mean that xvid is compiled with divx4 emulation. If
divx4.h is missing and xvid.h is present this will meen that clean xvid
api is usable. Just FYI The divx4linux include files are named encore.h
and decore.h or something like that..
