I don't think I have the scriping skills to create such a thing.  I also
don't really have a repo to test with.  I noticed others are working on
last year's AAC decoder.  Are there plans to merge that into FFmpeg with
history?  If so, is there already a script out there to do this?

If others are willing to help with getting the AC-3 decoder from the SoC
branch to FFmpeg while preserving the history, I am willing to apply
incremental changes to the SoC code to bring it inline with the current
patch.  Otherwise, I think I should just apply it as-is so I don't screw
anything up.
