What is the difference between implementations of x264 encoding in ffmpeg / mencoder / ffdshow-tryout vfw encoder / x264.exe builds?

Also, is there a development hierarchy or can new x264 features/optimisations be developed by any to be adopted by the others?

Also does this relate at all to the work that is done with libavcodec?

The answers to these questions may be obvious and I may be completely misunderstanding the development process but I am a clueless (and very grateful!) user, rather than a developer. Any shared knowledge is greatly appreciated.

There is only one x264 library.

All of the aforementioned applications are merely frontends.
