Hey Julian,

I've just tested your approach with the faad2 package and it works just
as expected. I'll add the necessary changes to the Debian packaging soon
[tm]. But please note that we are not in a hurry: testing is currently
frozen and I see zero chance that faad2 will get a freeze exception with
a change as intrusive as this.

BTW, I have decided to put the renamed library into the regular libfaad2
package. It has a different name and weights only ~250kB. So, you only
need to take care to link your own application against the correct
library name. 

@team: Does anyone remember why we put the 10bit-libx264 into a
subdirectory instead of renaming the library? One has to use LD_PRELOAD
magic, anyway, to use it.

Thank you very much already!

- Fabian
