Yet again, this patch is silly. Just look for the x264 code: they 
changed the api again, so mplayer/ffmpeg svn head is in sync with 
x264's one.

And gentoo guys submitted normal patch with version checking:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240347
Obviously, this will be never commited to mplayer/ffmpeg, because 
these projects do not support old versions of x264.
