Yes, thank you.

So this will set rc_eq in the libx264 context only if avctx->rc_eq is
defined, otherwise will keep the libx264 default value (which is
already set *before* libavcodec has the chance to set it).

BTW what will happen when the eval functionality will be removed from
libx264? If the psz_rc_eq field will have been removed as well this
will break compilation (unless to update the ffmpeg code to comply
with latest libx264 versions).

I'll apply tomorrow on evening if no one will have objected.

Regards.
