Ok, here is my take on this.

Add a new configure flag that must be explicitly enabled. Whenever a
libmpcodecs filter is enabled print out that it is unsupported and might
change at any time (ie filter ported to libavfilter). Just add a subset
of the filters (ie the most commonly used ones). Then for GSoC we can
have filter porting as projects or qualification tasks. This will give
most users what they want and developers will have a quantifiable amount
of code that we have to take care of. And we get a plan for moving the
code to libavfitler.
