The decoder & encoder bit allocation functions definitely have identical
results, but they are implemented slightly differently.  Unless someone
else does it first, I'll make an attempt at a common version this
weekend.  Also, there is some opportunity for optimization in both the
encoder and decoder implementations.  For example, when exponents & bit
allocation parameters are reused from the previous block, most of the
bit allocation routine can be skipped.
