I think so, but I didn't want to suggest it as I wasn't sure who/why
put the Openquicktime library in the book. libquicktime likes
jpeg-mmx and both are moving targets right now. Or,
at least they were last time I build multimedia stuff. MJpeg-tools
factors into this as well.

I have patches to make libquicktime work with jpeg-mmx and it seems
to be useful, though I can't honestly say that I have a great need
for quicktime capability.

It would be fairly simple to replace our existing quicktime library
package with libquicktime, and I would volunteer to do my best to
keep it where it works.

I didn't search the XML of the book, but I'm pretty sure there is
at least 3-4 packages that can utilize libquicktime.

BTW - I forgot to mention in my last message that Googling for the
Openquicktime package (looking for a GCC4 patch) pretty well came
up with nothing except references to the LFS project.
