[theora-dev] dependencies of the encoder_example.c with the other files

[janaka priyadarshana]

thanks very much Parker,
My idea is to change the encoding mechanisum in an adaptable way according
to the network bandwidth (for live video streaming via internet). Up to now
we have almost finalize the bandwidth monitoring part, so we need to
integrate it with the encoder.

there can be many problems with implementing this idea such as the time dely
variation in  available bandwith estimation. Anyway i need to test the
encoding performance with this network adaptable mechanisum and identify
problems with it.

so i need to test the encoding mechanisum as well as the streaming
performance with theora encoded video. if any one can help me i really
appriciate.
