All true, but OGM is not and has never been an official Xiphophorus 
project, but is the work of an individual named Tobias Waldvogel. Sure, 
they have uploaded his sourcecode meanwhile to Xiph CVS, but OGM itself  
is not supported in any Xiph library, and it will also never be IMHO ( 
although this is just my personal opinion ).
