Why is it problematic for an end user to make a compile time choice in
an open source system that includes a compiler? Philosophically, I
mean - I know RPM packaging is not conducive to using the source.
Sucks.. but the ffmpeg developers made a framework chose that is incredibly
inflexible.
Isn't this really as much a fedora packaging choice that makes working
with source inflexible? But realistically, if you have to get the
codecs from a third party you might as well get the whole thing there.
There really isn't a lot of point in having a crippled version pre-built
at all so omitting it from the distro is best for everyone.
