Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 In fact it looks like the build is picking up *header* files from the
 official/3.x port, for about the same reasons the linker used to pick up
 libraries from that port. Annoying, apparently `--build-suffix` doesn't
 change the header install locations. I'll have to see what I can do about
 that because this is usually pretty complicated; might require a set of
 reinplaces on the headers in the post-destroot.

 Now, as to using shared libraries installed somewhere in a hidden place
 under ${prefix} ... I thought I'd explained why I considered that the way
 to go, before I went there - and that I didn't get any objections. Yes,
 the libraries aren't invisible, but the chances that another port will
 pick them up by accident are small. I could make them exceedingly small by
 creating the libav*.pc etc. symlinks in the VLC pre-configure. In that
 case, ports would not only have to instruct pkgconfig to look in the right
 location, the configure system would also have to request packages with
 the -VLC suffix.

 Or I can go one step further and bundle everything required to build
 against ffmpeg-VLC into a tarball to be unbundled somewhere under the
 parent work.dir in VLC's pre-configure. I think I'm going to explore that
 idea.
