OT: Quicktime Bundling

[Björnke von Gierke]

VLC beats Quicktime in almost every regard, as far as I am concerned.  
Additionally, one could make an external with libvlc, eliminating the  
need for a third party install:

group__libvlc.html

One caveat is that an external with libvlc would need to be open  
sourced under the GPL, if I'm not misstaken. But VLC runs on more OSes  
then Rev itself, and could probably be an ideal companion:
