OK, builds fine in mock for rawhide and branched/F-13, except that since faac
has been determined to be non-free and moved to non-free (bug #780), I had to
remove faac as BuildRequires.  So in order to retain faac support, we would
have to move xbmc to non-free as well until such time as xbmc can dlopen() faac
dynamically.  

Does anybody have an strong opinions on this?  I guess without faac support we
would lose the ability to encode AAC audio.  That would mean that you couldn't
rip a CD to AAC, which may not be such a great loss since the CD encoding in
XBMC is pretty rudimentary at best, so probably not worth moving the whole of
XBMC just for that.   But I think we still retain decoding support for AAC via
faad2, is that correct?  That would be a greater loss.
