Just by looking at your patches, I bet tcmodinfo is broken at least on
i386.  You don't need any dvd/video to test this.

I've been working on transcode for some time.  I have a _lot_ of patches,
mostly involving defining SYS_BSD where appropriate (instead of checking
__FreeBSD__ || __APPLE__ || ...) and other autotools fixes/enhancements,
fixing printf format mismatches and replacing sprintf with snprintf.  Oh,
and of course making transcode actually work.  Yes, I do use it to
transcode video on OpenBSD.

If you, or anyone else, is interested in transcode on OpenBSD, please
contact me off-list.

I didn't even look at the port, but I highly doubt it will be very
useful, since transcode can't "probe" dvd devices on OpenBSD.

Scripts that simply locate binaries are hardly a test.
