When I joined the list, I saw in an archive somewhere a then-recent
thread - participated in, if I recall correctly, by A'rpi - in which
someone posted such a fix and received permission to commit it. As of
now, compiling with Theora enabled fails with CVS sources, in what
appears at first glance to be the same place as when I moved to CVS to
begin with. This is annoying, as Theora support was one of the
significant reasons I made that move.

Is there any particular reason why this patch not only has not been
committed, but also has received no response whatsoever?
