+ * TODO:
+ * - optimize: color space conversion, ...
+ * - implement options to set the min/max number of strips?
+ * MAYBE:
+ * - "optimally" split the frame into several non-regular areas
+ *   using a separate codebook pair for each area and approximating
+ *   the area by several rectangular strips (generally not full width ones)
+ *   (use quadtree splitting? a simple fixed-granularity grid?)
+ *
+ *
+ * version 2014-01-21 Rl
+ * - believe it or not, now we get even smaller files, with better quality
+ *   (which means I missed an optimization earlier :)
+ *
+ * version 2014-01-20 Rl
+ * - made the encoder compatible with vintage decoders
+ *   and added some yet unused code for possible future
+ *   incremental codebook updates
+ * - fixed a small memory leak
+ *
+ * version 2013-04-28 Rl
+ * - bugfixed codebook optimization logic
+ *
+ * version 2013-02-14 Rl
+ * "Valentine's Day" version:
+ * - made strip division more robust
+ * - minimized bruteforcing the number of strips,
+ *   (costs some R/D but speeds up compession a lot), the heuristic
+ *   assumption is that score as a function of the number of strips has
+ *   one wide minimum which moves slowly, of course not fully true
+ * - simplified codebook generation,
+ *   the old code was meant for other optimizations than we actually do
+ * - optimized the codebook generation / error estimation for MODE_MC
+ *
+ * version 2013-02-12 Rl
+ * - separated codebook training sets, avoided the transfer of wasted bytes,
+ *   which yields both better quality and smaller files
+ * - now using the correct colorspace (TODO: move conversion to libswscale)
+ *
+ * version 2013-02-08 Rl
+ * - fixes/optimization in multistrip encoding and codebook size choice,
+ *   quality/bitrate is now better than that of the binary proprietary encoder
