I am moving in that lines only, dvb-apps/util/libsi/ and 
dvb-apps/util/ca_zap/
I think that i would prefer to move along the lines as you suggested 
earlier, rather than mpsys, since this would mean changing everything 
again (keep going in circles..)

Eventhough the very first version of ca_zap (not the one that i sent you 
recently, but the one i sent you long back maybe a few months back, i 
think around November/December) was based on mpsys and was not too happy 
due to the generated code.

Since i have changed ca_zap's dependency from mpsys, i don't have to 
worry about that aspect anymore.

What i would prefer is since it has been quite some work on libsi (which 
is very small), That could go ahead..

What do you think ? Or fall back to the very old code (mpsys based, i 
don't like that aspect too much, but if others insist that it is better, 
no problem by me)


Another point is that even if i use mpsys, the en50221 parsing code 
would still be there, which would mean that only a part of the code is 
eliminated by mpsys's usage not the complete stuff.
