I will rebase on 0.6 that have been released. Since I will have fix
for the ffmpegsuffix macro I've just used to bundle a special version
built shared of FFmpeg for vlc. (with libva support etc).
Or you can grab it there:

(but I will have more time to commit a cleaner patch next week).

I guess it's a problem with FFmpeg using a not yet release version of libvpx.
The preliminary version of the libvpx support for FFmpeg did have that
intype.h include.
It was reviewed as not necessary and probably reworked in the libvpx library.
