[theora] Theora vs. Nullsoft NSV

[Freun Laven]

I hadn't tried NSV, but it just seemed to me that there was a bit of
overlap in the efforts.

That there wasn't any real practical reason NSV wasn't using Theora
other than the simple fact it wasn't available yet.

Or that maybe there was some deeper reason or pehaps even something a
little shallow and petty such as they not wanting to touch open source.
