[PD] readanysf~ support on Windows (was: [PD-announce] Anouncing Locusamp~ object: a multiformat streaming client)

[Christof Ressi]

I tried to build readsf~ with Msys2 and I'm missing gmerlin_avdec lib (not included in dll folder). there's no package for Msys2 and I couldn't find any binaries elsewhere so I tried to build gmerlin_avdec from source but gave up after a while...

I'm wondering if there shouldn't be a better cross-platform solution, probably using ffmpeg/libav instead of gmerlin?
