I don't  know if doom9 uses  to review open source  projects. But i've
never  seen reviews using  experimental code.  Koepi's builds  are cvs
snapshots + the  koepi's decision to include square me  or ... i would
have never used that to test a codec. I'm not criticizing koepi, I'm 
criticizing doom9's choice.

When someone has  to review the codec, it should  use a stable release
(or  the current  stable  snapshot,  as our  releases  are not  called
releases). I  would have laugh if  someone had tested  mozilla 2 years
ago with a  nightly build : "well mozilla is shit,  it crashes all the
time, renders  an html  page in  more than 1  minute..." or  tested my
speedtouch usb driver cvs when i'm working on new features...

Perhaps  the solution  is koepi  proposes a  stable -  use  for review
binary... don't know.
