+AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an Open Source video codec designed for
+video transmission over the Internet. AV1 is planned to surpass
+VP9 and also to eventually be a competitor with HEVC/H.265.
+
+This script builds the encoder aomenc, the decoder aomdec as well
+as shared libraries which can be utilised by suitable versions of
+both FFmpeg and vlc.
