The codec lite and the wavelet codec works ok with your patch, i'll 
commit it asap (probably tomorrow).
The h264 requires vssh264core.dll, and that should be fixed (i added to 
LookupExternalByName the same hack that is in LookupExternal.). Then 
vssh264code.dll calls functions from vssh264dec.dll, but it's not 
loaded automatically. I'm looking into it, probably external dll 
required by external dll are not processed by the loader (does any 
other codec behave in this way?). I'm looking into it, but if anyone 
have suggestions he's welcome!

BTW, i tried to play the strv4-h264-300.avi with ffmpeg, but it didn't 
work.
