[FFmpeg-user] Patch for building ffmpeg on OS X Tiger

I'm a lowly MacPorts user, running on an "ancient" (by today's  
standards) PowerMac G4. I discovered that the current ffmpeg build  
available via MacPorts (version 0.7.1) doesn't build under Tiger. The  
MacPorts team informed me that the -dylib-compatibility-version switch  
needs to have a non-zero value under Tiger.

I'm attaching a patch file (not created with git ... sorry, but I  
don't build ffmpeg using git) created using diff -u. If you UNIX geeks  
can't handle that, then I apologize in advance; somebody else who  
knows what they're doing should've fixed it first. :)
