missing -> fate

but me writing 50+ regression tests for filters, some of which need
external image files, some need interlaced or telecined material some need
keypresses once pasing that is implemenzted ...
   is really hard and a shitload of work which is why iam a little upset
   about your requesting me to do that, its close to saying "never commit this"

swscale in fate is fun too, iam not sure its all binary identical accross
platforms, iam not sure what should be tested, there are too many cases to
test all ...
so a subset has to be selected that is quick to test but covers as much as
possible
