only that I'm not sure how that would work with MSVC builds.

doing the ogg stuff made me realize I need to rewrite
flac from scratch.  libFLAC is fine, but the command-line
wrapper was born of ethusiasm to see some results in the
early days.  when I get around to that I will probably
do the stuff you mention, getopt, audiofile, etc.
