hmm ...
theres another problem ...
if swscale uses some global sws_malloc() sws_free() set by global function
pointers what will happen if 2 libs or a lib like libavcodec and the 
application using that lib like mplayer both use sws?
mplayer -> init(malloc, free, ...)
    starts using a sws
    libavcodec -> init(av_malloc, av_free, ...)
        starts using sws
    tries to free() something (sws_free() points to av_free() while it was
    allocated by malloc())

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
