-------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 The process of syncing new versions of FFmpeg into MythTV is very
 cumbersome:

 1. Take a new FFmpeg branch and apply all of our customizations to it

 2. Take the configure script from the new FFmpeg branch and apply all
 changes since the last FFmpeg sync to our MythTV configure.

 Step 2 takes most of the time and is anything but straightforward.

 I will update MythTV configure to eliminate step 2 and make the MythTV
 configure invoke the FFmpeg configure as part of its run.
