+HOWTO sync to a new ffmpeg CVS date:
+
+a) manually update with cvs update -D 'new date tag'
+b) fix stuff so that our plug-in builds against it
+c) in configure.ac, replace the date tag with your new tag
+d) copy gst-libs/ext/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/CVS/Tag to gst-libs/ext/ffmpeg/Tag
+e) commit all these changes to cvs
+
+The reason both c) and d) need to be done is because cvs doesn't understand
+it's own Tag file format as a date spec.
