The patch may be fine, but the current way to detected if lavc requires 
linking to faad,
lame, x264 and who knows what else in the future is disgusting and is 
guaranteed
to break again in the future.
All this mess wouldn't be necessary if we used only pkg-config (as for 
lav[cf] external),
and configure would be much much cleaner.
