Native interlace support

I tried Raspberry Pi XBMC for the first time, having been using XBMC on a PC with Openelec for a year now.

I was disappointed to see that support for interlace video was not as good as mainline XBMC. Mainline XBMC Weave deinterlace mode was altered a few months back so that interlaced video would display with correct field synch on a an interlaced display mode (e.g. 1080i video on a 1080i HDMI display). This meant no power hungry deinterlacing was required to display 50/60Hz field rate video.

Considering the Pi cannot perform any decent deinterlacing I would expect proper interlace support to be of paramount importance.

Please will the latest incarnation of Weave be supported on the Raspberry Pi?

Note this is not related to the recent problem with playback of 1080i/576i video due to broken firmware.
