Here is what i did not like with enums in XviD.

The move  from defines to enums  is useless because flags  are set using
the int<->enum equivalence when doing things like:

  xvid.flags |= flag;

So the "checking" they were supposed  to provide is not performed by the
compiler.

I fear it's not possible to  enable strict enum checking, else you won't
be able to  combine flags (as "flag1  or flag2" is not part  of the enum
set)
