Nowhere, but I did not say that I like that fact.
It would be better to take profit of the portability and have a bmp 
reader (Win sys) on Unix and Mac port, and reverse of course (thus being 
able to use the same scene files whatever the system).

Do internal libraries have the same interface across platform ?
I do not think so.
I'm afraid you would be making a Windows loader with just "sys" name.

When you start relying on system library, you somehow leave the path of 
portability...

Problem with codec is that you never have the one needed to read the latest
email-movie...


The most efficient codec (compression point of view) is probably the one 
which upload your uncompressed movie in a remote server and give you an 
url (obfuscated, of course, we're making money here!) to have it back.
This way, you get to compress a 2Go files in a 2048 bytes file, and no 
loss in picture quality!
Only problem: you need a permanent and huge feed with the internet, but 
that's worth the price. (?)
