To be completely honest I would leave the installation of a
decompression program out of your guide and maybe just mention a few
that are capable of doing it.  Whoever sets out to compile FFmpeg
should have no problems installing a simple tool.  Besides, if you
mention a specific version your guide is bound to get outdated very
quickly.
