thats not practical
a 1024x768 image would need to be upscaled to 262144x196608 to get
8bit precission from a nearest neighbor resampler as basis

also see vf_perspective.c which supports bilinear and bicubic
interpolation, these surely could be shared and exist already.

of course we could push it with just nearest neighbor and work on that
later, but i dont think only nearest neighbor and leaving it at that
is a reasonable choice, its too poor quality wise

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give
it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For
even the very wise cannot see all ends. -- Gandalf
