ive no problem with a av_always_inline or similar for a externally vissible
one ...
also a av_inline would be a interresting option which would be shorter and
with which i would be perfectly fine even inside libav*

i definitly want these to be available to the outside of libav so if we dont
find another solution then iam fine with these but it really would be nicer
if a user app could use BE_32 instead of FFBE_32
maybe some

#ifdef AV_NO_PREFIXES
#define BE_32 FFBE_32
...
#endif
in libavutil or similar could be used?
