New description:

 faac and mpeg4ip conflict (#13879) because they both try to
 install versions of libmp4v2 by default.  The attached patch
 proposes a solution to this problem by asking faac to use an
 external version of this library rather than use its embedded
 version.

 In addition, a dependency is added that allows either mpeg4ip
 or libmp4v2 to provide this functionality.  libmp4v2 is now widely used
 instead of mpeg4ip because of reputed license problems with mpeg4ip that
 libmp4v2 avoids.

 Since mpeg4ip is no longer available publicly (only on MacPorts distfiles
 mirror) mpeg4ip should probably be retired in favor of libmp4v2 when all
 current dependents have switched to libmp4v2.
