Comment:
Personally, I favor including all of these variants as the default for
ffmpeg as the utility of the library and app is the broad
coverage that is provided. However, the opposing point of view is that
the current port is just following the distribution's own distinctions
at configure time as to what is default (ffmpeg's builit in codecs) and
what is optional (codecs based on external libraries like libx264).
So what is MacPorts policy on this. Is it permissible to make everthing
the default? Or should we follow the developers lead? If the
latter how about making a separate port (ffmpeg-full for example) that
includes everything that can be depended upon by ports that need
it.
