 separate plugin if we want to.
 * text-on-mpeg2 and mpeg2-subtitle-decoding in mpeg2subt should be
 separated in two plugins. We might want to move the text-on-mpeg2 into the
 "general" textoverlay plugin, but I don't think that's really needed.
 
 Oh, and, of course, the subtitle plugins need to be moved into HEAD, too, then.

+mpeg2subt doesn't overlay text, it overlays run-length encoded
+subtitle streams.
+
+IMO, textoverlay should be moved to ext/pango, and the common bits of
+textoverlay and timeoverlay be merged into a base class.  I'm guessing
+that the needs for overlaying text will be greater than what can be
+accomplished in one element.
+
+The textoverlay base class should derive from Videofilter.  I still
+need to figure out how to stuff extra pads onto a subclass of
+videofilter, but I think its possible.
