Well, would it be acceptable to start adding support for new colorspaces
after the code freeze is over?  I could write simple C only, I'm no good
at asm optimization.  But later on someone could write optimized version
and ifdef it?

Things I'd like to see added: (special purpose, I know...)
  planar RGB
  indexed RGB (dithered?)

I could add a dithering algorithm like the one used in libgif to do
the indexing, only this one would use data structures that work better
with MPlayer that libgif does.  Is this worthwhile?
