Here's an expanded patch with documentation, a change to configure (and I'd like to note that this configure script is a lot nicer than autoconf), and #if HAVE_WORDEXP inserted around my work in libavformat/img2.c

Carl Eugen had a comment about indention and line wraps. I wrapped one long line to <80 chars. I found in doc/developer the guideline that long blocks (>5 lines) included in new if(){} blocks should have a separate indention-fixup patch. I have two changes right on the limit of those 5 lines, and I'd hope it's ultimately simpler to commit this all as one change.
