NEW: ffmpeg

[Chris Kuethe <ckuethe@ualberta.ca>]

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.
It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is
developped under Linux, but it can compile under most OSes, including Windows.
The project is made of several components:

* ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file
  format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding
  in real time from a TV card.
* ffserver is an HTTP (RTSP is being developped) multimedia
  streaming server for live broadcasts. Time shifting of live
  broadcast is also supported.
* libavcodec is a library containing all the ffmpeg audio/video
  encoders and decoders. Most codecs were developped from
  scratch to ensure best performances and high code reusability.
* libavformat is a library containing parsers and generators for
  all common audio/video formats.

this was done on i386-current (as of about 1800h today).
testing, comments appreciated, i'm pretty sure i missed a
few things. now where'd i put the link to the porting and
testing guides ...

this is part 1 of about 3 on the way to a working divx encoder.
we have the necessary dvd-reading goodies (needed for ogle) so
now all we need is the video compression stuff...
