The code itself shouldn't be a problem - OpenCL is fully standardised with 
runtime compilation (and indeed we have to do this for the filters including 
source as well).

Like other filters making use of external files, it shouldn't be used where 
arguments (given e.g. "source=/etc/passwd" the build errors can leak 
inappropriate information) or the source file (easy to DoS the GPU) could be 
controlled by an attacker, but I don't think that sort of thing is a common 
use-case.

It only has the input frame and an increasing index to decide what to do - 
there are no persistent data to guide anything.  (More could be added, of 
course, but making something which is generally useful is difficult and quickly 
loses the simplicity of the current form.  Ideas certainly welcome, though.)
