Um, we can discuss the libmpcodecs changes, but the other parts were
documentation related for which
1) Diego is (at least inofficially) the maintainer
2) It is his job to keep the documentation consistent
3) For documentation it was decided that Xvid is the correct spelling

Now, Ivan did not notice 3) I guess, nor had much reason to read the
documentation lately, so I will not throw blame in that direction either
but both the kind of flames about a 'd' vs. 'D' (well, actually I do
not really think that is actually what it is about) and keeping half
of the stuff using a different spelling as the other half is quite
ridiculous.
As a compromise I suggest: flame the Xvid guys for the renaming while
supporting it only half-assed in public and do something more productive
for MPlayer. I am sure I can find everyone something to do if you can't
by yourselves....
