This is ironic.  First you revert my commit including my files without
any sort of discussion,  then you get "infuriated" when I change back my
files without touching yours, after Reimar agrees that "Xvid" is the way
to go.

Anyway, I will not participate in any further bikeshedding.  Do whatever
you want with your files, for the rest it will be "Xvid".  Period.
