Thank you very much.

I was looking at the patches that handbrake applies to the packages and, apart from a few, a lot of them are just portability stuff to darwin/macosx and some for cygwin, which I don't think that we care about that much. The only ones that are functional changes are the ones regarding libdvdnav/libdvdread. We can drop some of the patches/parts of the packages that the handbrake team releases with some repackaging (e.g., a get-orig-source script), if people deem that to be important. Nevertheless, some of those patches perhaps should be pushed to some upstream projects (well, I see one patch against lame there...). Anyway, I would love to have people review my changes and slaughter whatever I have there, for a cleaner solution. Perhaps in 2 or 3 iterations, with communication with handbrake's upstream, we can get it in a more "distribution friendly" form.
