Hmh. From what I'm reading on various sites...true, and probably a
widely-overlooked thing.
Basically it means any 3rd party client having the quicktime-support
enabled in the build process isn't GPL compatible, That's what the
LGPL is for, unless I'm mistaken..but the viewer isn't licensed under
that :| Meh.
