Ehhh... very well, I suppose, though I'm a completist and this bothers me.

Thing is, though, I had a hard time getting it installed in the first
place, don't remember where I got it from, and don't know what I'd need
to do to remove it. (I'm running Debian, by the way.)

The irritating thing is that on my previous setup, I apparently had
divx5linux instead, and don't know where I got that either... the
primary difference I remember seeing (aside from the fact that it would
compile) is that it reported using libdivxdecore.so, whereas now it
reports using libdivxencore.so; I'm not entirely certain that it reports
this in the same context where it reported the other, but if not, then
the other is disabled, which not much seems to be according to the
configure output.
