i'll have a look at it ...

i'm interested in some functions to analyze video frames ... i'm working
on an audiovisual installation that is supposed to control video by
sound and vice versa ... 
in which branches will i can find the yuv_ objects? also, i don't know,
if it's good to remove objects from the sources ... maybe it's better to
have a second library of Gem objects e.g. like pidip for pdp ...

cheers ... tim
