[XviD-devel] remove old dshow and vfw dirs. vfw length calc todo

[Reini Urban]

BTW:
1) When will the defunct dshow and vfw rootdirs be removed?
Now that they are under xvidcore.

I know several people who tried to build from the old dirs and obviously 
failed.

2) For the vfw todo.txt I would like to add the bitrate calculator 
getting the actual movie length, so that when you click on the
"Target size (kbytes)" button the correct Target bitrate will be 
calculated, which would help the encoder a lot. Same for the "calc..." 
button. Only when a movie is loaded, of course.

When I find enough time I can do this by myself, but I'm still busy with 
the perl script for automatic VirtualDubMod encoding, which sets the vfx 
CONFIG struct params.
