Right. The good thing about a crappy name (like "Freek" instead of
"Linux" ;-) ) is that people will immedialy come up with ideas! ;-)
I'll fix the name in new patch. Should we have to same name as XviD:
"turbo"? For what I've seen, XviD people seem to have given their
"turbo" mode more thoughts, as they have quicker replacement functions
for first pass. But I think that with a bit of intelligence and
experimentation with the different algorithm in lavc, I should be able
to offer the same kind of option, so _then_ we could talk about "turbo"
mode.

Anyway, I'm pleased to see that what I thought would be a quick, dirty
and inefficient hack caught your attention!

Guillaume
