 option to compile with quick sync support. Because that would violate
 ffmpeg's licensing terms? Some BSD License (for ffmpeg) might have really
 helped here. In this instance I really don't understand how the GPL?|LGPL?
 is any less draconian than Intel's terms on their Media SDK.

 Before the patch in comment:8 can be reviewed (and applied), it has to be
 changed so that {{{--enable-nonfree}}} is necessary to allow compilation
 with libmfx.
