There's actually a page long rant that displays on screen if you link 
externally, like we do...

Tried that, it required a small patch to the configure.ac script to make 
it past the configure stage:

Index: gst-ffmpeg-0.10.13/configure.ac
===================================================================
--- gst-ffmpeg-0.10.13.orig/configure.ac

Then it at least gets a bit further, but then you get bombed by a load 
of missing includes/headers/classes/andwhatnots during compile.

I guess some of the 50 or so patches are intented to make it work with 
the external library, and hence break building against the included one.
