While I _totally_ advocate this, ffmpeg is the one tool which I don't
do this for. I use the rpmfusion repository for various tools, and they
tend to depend upon the ffmpeg-libs package or its dependencies. I try
not to open this can of worms of changing versions and APIs. I just
leave those ffmpeg* packages untouched, and build a "newer" and more
customized ffmpeg into a different location.

For ffmpeg, there are good instructions on how to build it and its
dependencies into a "private" directory, and actually make it work
without shuffling libs into other locations.

Just my €0.02.

OTOH, building as user root is the biggest no-go of them all! I don't
see why people don't realize that...
