Short Description: XvMC wrapper library.
Long Description:  (from the readme)

This Wrapper is a convenience lib intended for packagers and XvMC
player developers. It dlopens an XvMC lib at runtime, and therefore
allows an XvMC-enabled player to link with the wrapper and the user to
choose which library to load.

(me talking):

I would like this package in the standard distribution because then the
standard distribution could support any implementation XvMC (including
the non-standard vld extension).  Right now, VIA, Intel, NVidia all have
their own incompatible versions of XvMC, which all require linking to
their library specifically.

This would spare us the trouble of linking each version separately.
Programs/libraries, like libxine for example, could come with XvMC
acceleration by included.  It would make my day!

I have made packages already (www.csd.uwo.ca/~mfgalizi/debian) if anyone
wants to have a look.  I know that I should be using debconf to setup
the /etc/X11/XvMCWrapper, and assuming there is interest, I will figure
out how to do it.

Thanks in advance!
