Hi Tobias and Go Team, do you have experience working with anacrolix?

The new rclone wants anacrolix/dms (for cmd/serve/dlna).  But anacrolix 
has an increasingly complex web of subdependencies.

anacrolix/dms requires fmpeg and anacrolix/ffprobe

ffprobe requires anacrolix/envpprof and anacrolix/missinggo

anacrolix/missinggo requires a whole suite of go modules, some are 
already in Debian, others are not.

It's like it would be easier to simply delete the dlna server out of 
rclone, then we can just ignore the anacrolix web of dependencies.

How important do you consider dlna support in rclone?  The new rclone 
version itself is important for symlink support (Bug#924745).

Thoughts? Opinions?
