Is libavcodec built as part of this package, or do we use the system libavcodec?

If this package uses a private libavcodec, we will have a problem with NEON autodetection, and the package may not work on e.g., Dove if NEON is built in.

libavcodec has no native support yet for detecting NEON support at runtime; for libavcodec we needed to build 2 library flavours (one with, one without) so the dynamic linker can choose one based on hwcaps.
