      avcodec: Remove libaacplus · 9ba54c1b
      Timothy Gu authored 
      TODO: bump minor

It's inferior in quality to fdk-aac and has an arguably more problematic
license.

As early as 2012, a HydrogenAudio user reported:

> It has however one huge advantage: much better quality at low bitrates than
> faac and libaacplus.

(https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?PHPSESSID=ckiq394pdglka0kj2fin6ij8t7&topic=95989.msg804633#msg804633)

I myself have made a few spectrograms for a comparison of the two
encoders as well. The FDK output is consistently better than the
libaacplus one, in all bitrates I tested.

libaacplus license is 3GPP + LGPLv2. 3GPP copyright notice is completely
proprietory, as follows:

> No part may be reproduced except as authorized by written permission.
>
> The copyright and the foregoing restriction extend to reproduction in
> all media.
>
> :copyright: 2008, 3GPP Organizational Partners (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TTA, TTC).
>
> All rights reserved.

(The latest 26410-d00 zip from 3GPP has the same notice, but the copyright
year is changed to 2015)

The copyright part of the FDK AAC license (section 2) is a copyleft
license that permits redistribution under certain conditions (and
therefore the LGPL + libfdk-aac combination is not prohibited by
configure):

      Mans Rullgard authored 
      This adds support for building on Plan 9 x86-32.  The compat/plan9
directory contains these items:

- replacements for the 'head' and 'printf' shell commands
- wrapper for main() to disable FPU exceptions

Larger required changes to the system are described in the
documentation.
