So, i'll send a patch set to include the new vbr and the config parser
as soon as i finnish binding  all paremeters in the xvidcvs module. Do
you think  it's a good idea to  include the config parser  in xvid and
xvidraw  or should we  allow only  the defaults  settings for  these 2
modules (targeted for a lambda user) ?
