[Soc-2005-dev] FFMpeg and binary sizes

[Ian Gowen]

Ton was concerned about binary distribution sizes when statically linking 
Blender to FFMpeg. I did a test compile where I statically linked ffmpeg and 
the blender executable, tar'd and bzip'd, was 4.1MB. I'm not sure how much 
the game engine adds to that size as I compiled without it, but lukep tells me 
that on OSX it's about 2.5MB more, uncompressed-- definitely an acceptable 
amount IMO.

With Alexander I recommend including a cvs snapshot of ffmpeg in extern/, 
since the API changes so quickly. We'd have no end of compatability issues if 
we dynamically linked.
