I think the branding issue would solve itself in short order if the actual 
implementation of swscale started to be good. My concern with adding a new 
library is that we'd end up in a situation where we have both swscale and a new 
library side by side for some extended period of time. 

By comparison adding cleaner APIs to swscale and then slowly strangling the old 
APIs (along the lines of Niklas' proposal) would allow for a more gradual 
transition that has a higher likelihood of success compared to a full rewrite 
IMO.
