funny. i've been following the xiph svn tree for a while, to get the 
latest theora stuff, and judging from the name, i always thought 
postfish was some arcane brainchild of conrad parker's :-D never 
compiled it, though...

huge kudos for the theora development, btw. last time i used it was lac 
2009, and the quantum leap in quality and efficiency was really really 
amazing. if only we could convince those industry dorks to make it a 
mandatory part of html5...

submarine patent threat")
