[FFmpeg-user] Latest GIT version doesn't compile with libvpx_vp9 encoder

That may have been a bug in ffmpeg's configure: External (non-system)
libraries were not supposed to be auto-detected. A lot of this was
changed and possibly fixed recently. You are now *expected* to state
"--enable-libvpx" (and "--enable-libopus" and so on).

Which is peculiar, because your config.log hinted that cp9 support was
successfully probed.

This, again, means that the libvpx ffmpeg is trying to link against
doesn't contain these symbols.

I think I may have a hard time reproducing this.
