 Hmm good point; need to check it out.  RPATH takes priority over
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH IIRC but I dont remember how it playes with search
 pathes.

 Perhaps we should just go for a) and have a ffmpeg in experimental for
 Debian next.  Not too handy for Ubuntu though, but we could have a PPA
 there.

 get updated for a while, but when testing of an upstream fix is
 desired, a new one is just pushed for testing.
