Devs,

    I will be initiating the splitup of the avi global use flag into avi 
and win32codecs shortly.  The reasoning behind this is that the avi USE 
flag encompases both avifile and win32codecs support.  The reasoning 
behind this is that avifile is cross platform, but win32codecs is not 
(x86 or amd64 with x86 emulation libraries iirc).  That said, it makes 
no sense to have one USE flag take on both a cross platform and 
non-cross platform compatible package dep (you can't arch use mask it).  
Therefore, I ask the following:

1) All arches please put win32codecs into  your appropriate arch use 
mask.  If you'd rather have this as a bug, simply respond and one will 
be created.
2) the following apps:
    app-misc/evidence
    media-gfx/pornview
    media-gfx/swftools

are not part of the media-video category.  My intention is to do all the 
splits gradually so as not to break too many things and create less of a 
load on the cvs server.  That said, if you DON'T want me touching the 
above applications, please state so and I will coordinate with you on 
the split.  When I have confirmed that everyone is ready for the split, 
I will begin it.  That's it.
