IIRC it was obsoleted by libswscale. ffmpeg 0.5 contained a non public
img_convert.h header with these functions:

,----
| int ff_fill_linesize(AVPicture *picture, int pix_fmt, int width);
| 
| int ff_fill_pointer(AVPicture *picture, uint8_t *ptr, int pix_fmt, int height);
| 
| int ff_get_plane_bytewidth(enum PixelFormat pix_fmt, int width, int plane);
| 
| int ff_set_systematic_pal(uint32_t pal[256], enum PixelFormat pix_fmt);
| 
| int img_convert(AVPicture *dst, int dst_pix_fmt, const AVPicture *src,
|                 int src_pix_fmt, int src_width, int src_height);
`----

since img_convert.h has ff_ prefixed and therefore non public functions,
this header must not be installed.

in trunk, only the 'ff_' prefixed are available. In fact, it was you who
did this change:

Remove declaration of the removed function img_convert().


In theory, this API could be added to a public header like avcodec.h for
0.5. However, as trunk doesn't support it either, this might encourage
users to use deprecated functions.
