theres no need for headers to be installed, struct AVFrame or even
void * can be used.

This is much more complex for user applications and not extendable
we just added these fields days ago. more will be added and this will
always need updating.

Iam not against this patch if you want it but i think the people
using libavfilter & libavcodec would prefer a simple interface
that allows passing an AVFrame.
