Interesting!! What platform(s) does this run on so far?  Can it run on
Windows also?  Maybe keeping it as an FFI interface is good for the
community.  We have, e.g. ideas for how to seal an FFI so that one cannot
use functions outside of a defined API.  This would give the same security
properties as a plugin without the costs, complexities and limitations of
plugins.  In any case if you do go for a plugin based solution think of
using SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin, and I've made some improvements in the
support for these, as exemplified by MP4MediaFilePlugin, a work in progress
as far as the mp4 side of things, but up-to-the-minute in terms of
the MP4MediaFilePlugin side of things.
