• MPEG Audio Decoder: Updated libdts
• VSFilter: Added RealText support
• VSFilter: Fix rare seeking issue with VobSubs
• VSFilter: Fix potential jitter issues with \pos overrides in VSFilter.
• VSFilter: Really fix two subtitle rasterisation bugs: Go back to old pixmix/pixmix2 architecture originally used in Subtitler and early versions of VSFilter, implement an SSE2 version of pixmix2 and ensure (widened-region minus fill) math doesn't underflow. Completely fixes "\be1 stray dots" and "vector \clip kills alpha" bugs. Also add several comments explaining the rasterisation code.
• VSFilter: Add support for variable strength and animated \be, and implement gaussian \blur as an alternative. (\blur also does edge blur like \be but in a nicer way.)

• VSFilter: Add "inverse clip" tag \iclip to specify what to hide rather than what to show.
