The pages not being rendered could be caused by ffmpegsumo not being
built, but I'm not sure about that (I don't see a logical relation, but who
knows?).  One TODO is that third_party/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.gyp needs to be
fixed to build ffmegsumo independently of builtin/system ffmpeg.

I also tried to compile with builtin ffmpeg codecs, but this gives assembler
errors with the system gcc/binutils.  Using gcc45 leads to compiler errors.
Using binutils from ports might be the answer.
