[Wine] RFC: New dependency on FFmpeg?

[georg at bege.email]

Hi

I'd be curious, why wouldnt it be possible to dynamicly load ffmpeg 
library if existing in the system.
(via search path, ld path etc.)?
I mean on a minor revision the API of ffmpeg should more or less stay 
the same,
I have not that much experience with ffmpeg - I used it once 
(programming wise).
