someone asked me about prores support.
i think there is a lot of interest in this codec.

if anyone wants to help, the best way is to:
apply this patch locally
clean it up (undo the #if 0 code removal, and the comment changes)
make it a smaller patch, seperate AIC/prores changes (if possible?)
test it with all qtcodecs on all platforms that use that code
benchmark it to see if its faster/slower/buggy
submit the patch back here.

i wonder if its better to just create a qtvideo2 for those codecs
which dont work with the current loader. that way we wont break
anything.
