In the meantime, I've been using the Intel Performance Primitives (IPP)
library for color conversion, and it's working great.  It converts between
I420, YUY2, and RGB24, and a zillion other colorspaces.  Plus it's optimized
for every Intel processor under the sun, has a free trial, is free for
non-commercial Linux apps, and is very reasonably priced otherwise ($200).
