The problem with libmpcodecs is that it isn't a library, and was never
meant to be usable from outside MPlayer, so trying to integrate it
into FFmpeg is a nightmare. Indeed the only way is to copy the files
to FFmpeg and all the dependencies (vf.h, mp_msg.h, help_mp.h,
m_option.h, m_struct.h, img_format.h, mp_image.h, mpc_info.h, vfcap.h
etc) and somehow patch it to the build system...  and yet I have no
idea how I can map the MPlayer log system to that of FFmpeg and looks
more that I can withstand...

The best chance seems to directly import the MPlayer tree into FFmpeg,
but since MPlayer already includes FFmpeg will end up with a
regression ad infinitum...
