Please don't misunderstand my comments as wanting to make things more
difficult, but I would prefer it to have some kind of system, not some
randomly placed stuff.

Currently these public headers have it:

avcodec.h
avformat.h
avutil.h

These don't:

opt.h
avio.h
rtp.h
rtsp.h
rtspcodes.h
avutil.h
common.h
mathematics.h
integer.h
rational.h
intfloat_readwrite.h
md5.h
adler32.h
log.h
fifo.h

If this is as it is intended, I will drop the subject, to me it looks
like this is just how it "happened to be".

Greetings,
