my oppinion is that you should not bloat swscale up with converters
noone uses, for such cases a generic fallback does well.
but maybe you plan to create a .c file run gcc and execute that for
each swscale instance could be interresting for alot of templating code
if it can be done cleanly ...
or write it like the fast bilinear code ...
or a more normal generic converter with just a few lines of C hat can
handle any RGB order ...
or some reordering prepass/postpass
...

i really do not want N*N independant converters!
