I see a bunch of .dll files in the w32codecs tarball I got (there
seems to be various flavours of it, so it might be that we're not
talking of the same thing; in which case it would be nice to specify
more clearly what exactly is being proposed for inclusion).
I am sensitive to the "access to culture" argument up to a point, but
including closed-source binary code that runs on the main CPU is quite
far beyond that point; to be clear, it's in veto-land for me.
