I did not hear anything from anyone of them: most of the email bounced
(invalid email addresses), and someone did not answer. I am currently
trying to understand how to replace the tables and code that we need
from yuv2rgb.c... But I'll also try to search for updated email
addresses of the authors.

I just followed what Michael did (that obviously is the simplest
thing :), but I am ok with other solutions, such as splitting the GPLed
and LGPLed parts in different files, if possible (I'll look at this in
the next days).

For the moment, I was just trying to reassure those who are worried
about the licensing issues.
