Indeed, "dvdnav".

(gdb) p *opt
$1 = {name = 0x8376297 "dvdnav", p = 0x83762a0, type = 0x842e3e0, flags = 0, 
  min = 0, max = 1, priv = 0x0}

Well, yes, it wouldn't necessarily be easy. I could compile statically to
remove the library dependencies, and could enable run-time cpu detection. 
But then it would get even bigger. A lot bigger I expect.

But the original point of my statement was exactly to explain that there
wasn't much more that I could practically provide to help.

Actually I'm a bit embarrassed, I already had printed *opt in gdb but cut it
off when I sent the e-mail. I don't know what I was thinking there.
