I've just fixed the external Tremor detection in configure.  It had
definitely never worked before.  It compiles and links now, but crashes
immediately in demux_open.  I'll post more details later.

ffvorbis now outperforms Tremor in all situations except for CPUs that
lack a floating point unit.  This is a special case that warrants
compiling external libraries IMO.
