Glad to hear that... So, should I ask what XviD devs would prefer on by
default, You think there's a chance to have those patches included?
Sorry for being always bringing back XviD... it just appears to me that
not to many people here care about working hands in hands with them....
which in my opinion is too bad.

Anyway, whoever is supposed to work on x264 front-end should speak-up
about the option name and defaults suggested by Loren Merritt as
apparently those modifs are likely to help a lot end-users.

Regards,
Guillaume
