Hmm... 
Seems to me that libquicktime on Mac OS X should just be a compatibility
layer, adapting lqt calls to real, native QuickTime calls. The lqt codecs
wouldn't require much attention at all, then. Have any pointers to which
API calls you would actually use?

Then again, why not a native QuickTime external, perhaps based on
QuickTimeTcl (once it's more stable...)?
