-'vorbis' CVS module contains only the libvorbis, libvorbisfile, and
-libvorbisenc libraries. Because Ogg bitstreams are to be used by other
-Ogg codecs, Ogg framing and streaming functionality is now in libogg
-(the 'ogg' CVS module). Vorbis utilities are in 'vorbis-tools' and various
-player plugins are in 'vorbis-plugins'. For now, you'll need to check

VorbisLib at least) and #include "ogg/ogg.h" and "vorbis/codec.h"
wherever you need to access Ogg and Vorbis functionality.
