1/ Can be made, but given that's legacy package it would remain usefull on even
older version (than el5). I want to keep them for now.
2/ This macro may not be available on EL-5 but for later release is good to
have.
I will make a condition.
3/ To me, this only make sense when building for your own from a VCS. it's
totally pointless to split the sourcedir from the builddir when building a
package. Nevertheless I eventually use this on known build tool (such as cmake
autotools). ffmpeg one is specific.

I can only test on native arm plateform. (So I may backport the change made for
devel/F-17). For others arches that's what is expected according to upstream
and fedora's policies.


There is still work needed after some second look.
- virtual provides ffmpeg-devel for ffmpeg-compat-devel
- Move *.pc file from an alternative ffmeg-compat  sub-directory so it can be
parallele installable with ffmpeg-devel later.
- Eventually move the package to rely on LGPL.
- Advertise that usage of this package is a security risk that we do not
undorse.
(not to be used for package exposed to internet such as video player and etc).
