Holy cow. I just didn't expect such legal mines in a 1.0 release of a
codec which is proclaimed to be free (I know this is not an excuse).

Ok, so we should immediately replace this stuff with the trunk to be on
the safe side - as Uoti and Roberto already pointed out, the diff will
contain mostly only these offending headers, and do the comparison with
lavc right afterwards.
