I don't have avifile in the OpenBSD ports tree. And on the page listed in the 
README,
there is only avifile 0.7.45. This doesn't build for me.

I found a avifile 0.7.48 here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avifile/1:0.7.48~20090503.ds-9.1

but this doesn't have a ready to be run configure script. I tried a bit with 
autoconf and automake
but gave up in the end.

Do you maybe know whether it has a new homepage?
Where I can download one with a working configure script?

Actually, this avifile seems to use old ffmpeg, and other libraries. Since the 
tarball of .48 is from 2009,
I guess the version will probably full of security related bugs. Even if I get 
it to run, I may not want to
link against it ;) Therefore this avifile is one of the lowest priorities for 
me right now.
Maybe its more clever/better/whatever to directly link against ffmpeg? Don't 
know.

Further, it seems to be c++, where I'm a total noob :(
I still did not had time to look into all the patches you sent me some time 
ago, from the Debian
package of Cynthiune. IIRC, there was  a patch also with regard to avifile.
Maybe can you check to get that patch applied and whether Cynthiune then builds 
the Bundle for you?

thanks,
Sebastian
