Summary of IRC discussion:
- almost always (but not always, e.g. HTTP request header), this is
used in combination with a protocol, and that'd require a temporary
buffer plus two extra lines of code to get to the final URI; would be
nice if that was done directly. If that's a little non-optimal, that's
OK, because it's not speed-critical, I'd prefer very much that the
calling code is small (i.e. one-liner), pretty much as simple as
snprintf(buf, .., "tcp://%s:%d?...", etc);.
- don't use av_strlcat() on an uninitialized buffer, it might not be zero'ed out

I guess ff_url_ is good enough, I don't think we want to export this,
at least not yet. And url_split() is bad, should be ff_url_split(), if
you're interested in upping your SVN stats.
