This patch relies on the proposed addition to the eval API at 
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/16109/

FATE passes.

Subject: [PATCH] avfilter/scale: allow dynamic output via expressions

At present, dynamic output can be had from scale and scale2ref
filters by sending commands or varying the resolution of the
input (in scale) or reference stream (in scale2ref). This is
unwieldy when an interpolated or otherwise animated output is
desired.

This commit introduces standard temporal variables that can be used
in width and height expressions, so dynamic output can be configured
at initialization or via commands. In order to achieve this, external
dependency on libavfilter/scale.c has been removed and equivalent
functionality introduced inline.

Such varying output ought to be sent to filters which can
accommodate them, such as the overlay filter.

Moving and changing code at the same time makes it hard to see th difference.
Idealy all code moves should be seperate from changes to the code.

also more generally, spliting this patch up would simpify review

thanks
