Detailed Description

Update of MLT from v6 to v7 breaks the builds, binaries changed the name and devel files changed the location [1], authors argue that facilitates have 2 versions of MLT at same time, but I personally don't want keep to versions of MLT because MLT just 3 or 5 projects that use it,
