cubic interpolating deinterlacer will be better than linear (0x10000)
noise reducing filters are in the TODO list ...
perhaps ill try to implement a smart deinterlacer which analyses the image 
and decides what to do to each area, perhaps not ...

no clue :)
commandline options would be a nice thing, something like 
-deint=linblend
-denoise=temp,25	(25 is the threshold to use)
or
-deint-linblend
-denoise-temp=25
or 
...

all the secret codes are hidden in postproc/postprocess.h
... test results are welcome too
