I'm just finishing main.c right now. Results are *very* nice so far.
(it checks for both mpeg_encode and ppmtompeg then sets the encoder)

Re. -c, more trials first. I don't have UCB's mpeg_encode compiled to
test it with (but have the source); running it with ppmtompeg right now,
and that's pretty much installed by default on most distributions
(standard netpbm).
