The whole point of bmovl2, as I see it, is to add "bloat" to MPlayer and
take logic away from the external app to make things more efficient. In
RVE (http://rve.sf.net) I have already implemented all the logic for
throwing around layers of bitmaps, but bmovl2 will be faster because it
can get away with updating smaller parts of the screen as it knows more
about the overlay.
