True. :)

Perhaps the fix above is not yet covering everything, but it would be
nicer to fix transcode than to enforce legacy bits into libquicktime
(i.e. if the upstream authors decide to no support backward
compatibility, I wouldn't want to rectify it. Imagine an application
probing for libquicktime and having diofferent build paths dependending
on where the headers were found).

transcode would have to fix its include patchs anyway in the future
and we wouldn't have to rebuild two packages (one for transcode and
one for libquicktime to remove our backward compatibility wrapper).

OK.

In ATrpms, if you BuildRequire: python >= 2.4 it's enough.
