* It contains all the video filters, it might be interresting to use them
  from other projects ...
* Its faster to build a .a per directory and then combine them than collect
  all .o files if one changed. (simple matter of less collecting
  recompile one c file collect all .o of one dir collect all .a vs.
  recompile one c file collect all .o of the whole project)
  seeks are slow reading lots of files is slower than reading one
  big one ...

Anyway, everyone rewriting something knows his code is better than before
in every respect. It rarely is though, especially if the old code is the
result of years of bugfixes. (this applies to uotis improvments more than
the makefiles heres but still)
