If you don't use it I assume nobody does.

So while we're at it, why not go over the complete list of files in
TOOLS/ ..

- gltest.c

see above


- alaw-gen.c

Related to the discussion about whether we need a separate alaw/ulaw
decoder.  If we don't then we can remove this one.


- 302m_convert.c
  360m_convert.c

Hmm, Reimar?


- bios2dump.c
  mem2dump.c

Hmm.  How is this related to multimedia in any way?  Are they useful?


- cpuinfo.c

This one should likely go in the top level directory.


- edgedetect.fp
  emboss.fp

What are these (undocumented) files anyway?  Reimar?


- w32codec_dl.pl

We distribute all necessary codecs, I don't see what this is good for.


- aconvert

Didn't we fix MEncoder to handle audio-only files some time ago?


- png2raw.c

Used by .raw file creators, should be obsolete now.


- x2mpsub.sh
  sws-test
  fastmem.sh
  perlbench.pl
  menc2pass
  mp.pl

Trivial shell or Perl scripts, can be removed IMO.


- install-w32codecs.sh

Taken from the official Debian package, useful, should be kept.


- checktree.sh
  mphelp_check.py
  asfinfo.c
  movinfo.c
  avi-fix.c
  vivodump.c
  dump_mp4.c
  fastmemcpybench.c
  bmovl-test.c

Development-related stuff, likely still useful.


- divx2svcd
  dvd2divxscript.pl
  calcbpp.pl
  countquant.pl
  encode2mpeglight
  mencvcd
  vfw2menc.c
  wma2ogg.pl
  plotpsnr.pl
  psnr-video.sh
  qepdvcd.sh

various encoding tools, likely useful


- midentify
  mpconsole
  mplmult.sh

small MPlayer tools, likely useful


- avisubdump.c
  subedit.pl
  subrip.c
  subsearch.sh
  vobshift.py

various subtitle tools, likely useful
