I was under the impression that libzvbi was GPL2 like the rest of zapping.
If I had known it was LGPL I probably wouldn't have gone down this route.

It might make sense to merge this back into the zvbi based decoder, but
I've never used zvbi so I'm not sure how it compares to the features I've
implemented here. I will try to find some time to investigate, but to be
honest this version is working very well for my needs and I'm not
particularly motivated to add a dependency to my project.
