well, moving the swscaler from mplayer to ffmpeg was planed since some time
we should have done that before the cvs->svn switch ...

anyway as i dont see how that could be done now without breaking svn (revision
numbers would change) swscaler will either stay in mplayer and be checked out
as svn external in ffmpeg, or its moved to its own repository
i dont care which is choosen ...

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
