Commit it any time, I just think that this should ideally be part of
"make test", otherwise it is too easily ignored, but too many demuxers
failing
a) make it too easy to ignore
b) make it hard to see which ones _really_ need work

In particular the order is misleading, for example all the MTV swf etc.
show up on top although I think we haven't had even one misdetection du
to them and I doubt we will ever have one (because people usually try to
use FFmpeg on media files, not e.g. random text files, and even if they
do the result will be the same - it won't play), whereas the mpeg test
is a real-world issue.
As such I think the current output is a bit misleading as to the
priority of these.
