 Hmm software scaler support at least used to be useful for other
 applications (including one I wrote using ffmpeg).  We probably should
 verify if img_resample() really replaces the old API and if backwards
 compatibility is provided, otherwise it might perhaps be best to have
 two ffmpeg packages?  At worse an option, although this could also
 introduce problems with software needing the scaler API and the others
 which can't build with it...
