Given up on the patched ffmpeg

To compile OpenH323 I would have to do ./configure 
--enable-rfc2190avcodec=[source of avcodec.h]

The important bit is below - it should all say yes, but obviously 
without a patched ffmpeg I get no.

checking libavcodec-0.4.7//avcodec.h usability... no
checking libavcodec-0.4.7//avcodec.h presence... no
checking for libavcodec-0.4.7//avcodec.h... no
configure: Skipping tests for VIC H.263 and non-standard H.263

Have emailed openh323 as suggested.

For now I've restored the normal ffmpeg (since I use it to make a video 
from webcam for posting to a video based mailing list)
