The mediaxw project (or something like that) on sourceforge.  They are
not really suitable to be used as a base.  I had oddsock check them out
a few weeks back for that very reason, but he said they didn't even
compile.

I meant win32 nut in the nicest possible way :)  If you're in IRC come
chat with me, I'd like to discuss this with you.  It sounds like we both
want to see a good set of filters.  Note that I don't think you can
legally make GPL plugins to proprietary apps, but it's a hazy area :)
I'd make them LGPL just in case.
