And what that page apparently doesn't say yet is that - on git master -
ffmpeg's native AAC encoder has surpassed libfdk_aac's quality. It is
therefore also no longer experimental (i.e. enabled by "-strict
experimental"). (I haven't tried it very much  myself, but I totally
trust the developers on this.)

So, a hint to the users: Using git master or starting from ffmpeg 2.9,
you do not even need to provide any external AAC library.

(I realize libfdk_aac can also be used as a decoder, and may have
features other codecs don't provide.)
