I don't quite agree with renaming it. As Michael already pointed out, 
the av prefix wouldn't fit a scaling library nor a resampling one, as 
they only handle one or the other.
There's also the precedent of avresample, which was ultimately dropped 
in favor of swresample, so trying to replace swscale with a new avscale 
library will be both confusing and going against what was already 
established.
