Sure.

IMHO, the best strategy would be to convert all files at the tree to
DVBv5, and add a Makefile target to produce the DVBv3 files and
another one to install the DVBv5 files on a shared repository.

That gives to distro maintainers the flexibility to have either one 
or two packages for each format, and let them to remove the dvbv3
when all apps on an specific distro would be using just the new format.

Well, at the time it was written, there were no DVB-T2 files.

Feel free to send patches improving the library to also handle the
DVB-T2 formats.

Mauro
