yes. i think an xvid_enc_create.profile field is appropriate.
if this field is set to zero, xvid should not simply not write out the
profile id VISOBJSEQ_START_CODE. guessing the profile is bad, because
each profile specifies an upper bitrate.

iam hoping someday to implement a vbv plugin, such that xvid bitstreams
*really* conform to the various profiles.
