The updated libbluray is in Rawhide, feel free to build at your 
convenience. It'll be great to have yet another media player with bluray 
support.

Actually this is a bit of a special case. I've been using handmade git 
snapshot until now, and this is the first upstream release. As such I 
think it would be easier for everyone to use what upstream provides us. 
I know this is somewhat against the rule to bump soname during a release 
lifetime, but I feel it worths it.

As I'm writing this, I'm wondering how does one request aa buildroot 
override in RPM Fusion ? This will be needed to have a seamless 
transition in F16 and F15.
