 Per
 http://hg.berlios.de/repos/tcforge/file/d6956f8dca76/docs/CHANGES-1.0-1.1,
 the 1.1.x released branch of transcode has done away with the "color"
 argument and replaced it with --log_no_color

 The --use_rgb (aka '-1') option has also changed again (this was touched
 recently in Bug #6807).  Confusingly, mtd/jobthread.cpp put this option on
 the command line when "use_yv12" is set in mythconverg, which causes
 transcode to use the CODEC_RGB.   This is confusing because comments
 within transcode source refer to RGB as something different than YV12.

 If we really need this option, it has been replaced with "--video_format
 rgb24"  Removing this option altogether will change transcode to use the
 default setting of yuv240p.

 Unfortunately, their changes are not compatible to older versions of
 transcode which most people are running right now (but distributions are
 moving to the new one this fall), so changing it could create backward
 compatibility problem for those that don't upgrade their version of
 transcode - hence this patch which adds a option to the configure script
 for the newer versions of transcode.

 If patch is adopted, it requires re-running configure regardless if you
 are on old or new transcode (to generate the config.h).

 If it is preferred to try to auto-detect the version of transcode that is
 installed, I could take a stab at that.
