There are several mpeg encoders with a binary called mpeg_encode around.
Which one is the one we need, specifically?

Is ppmtompeg the one that comes with the NetPBM tools?

As far as the Win binaries are concerned: why not just ship them with
Xerces support in GDAL?

That's correct (at least for Mac OS 10.4 as far as I can tell).
Both are tiny little things, though, so how much harm
would it do to pack them both?
