I am not really sure what to say about the detection strings, except I
feel they seem very generic (but I could be wrong)[1].  With
embedded-library being an auto-reject tag now (about 45 minutes ago), I
think we have to be more careful about false-positives here.

[1] I do not know how common "This app uses Xiph.Org libtheora for
feature XYZ" etc. strings are in applications or libraries.
