Or just on IRC today (!)
"<LigH>  JVET VVC just got ready to be built with MSYS/MinGW too ... so I
guess it is not yet in a stage to be considered to be linked into ffmpeg.
What would be your criteria to consider this encoder? How would we get to
know that you start considering it? Looking for a thread in the mailing
list?"

I'm surprised this patch made it in, I've always assumed we were
uncomfortable with closed-source software and that the hardware-support was
a corner-case. Can I submit a wrapper for my closed-source VP9 encoder?
