BUG: Motion beyond 20100121 no longer builds without ffmpeg

Without changing the build environment and setup, motion dated 20100121 builds succesfully without ffmpeg support. The next one (20100123) does not. All subsequent snapshot fail to build without ffmpeg support.

I, and others do already, want to use motion as a grabber for the program stopmotion (http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/studentgrupper/2005-hig-stopmotion/). Hence there is no need for ffmpeg in motion.

Another reason to keep on delivering motion without ffmpeg is that some linux distributions can not distribute ffmpeg due to license or patent limitations.

It builds again

BTW: I did not get an email notification that this bug report was updated. I just checked it myself. How to get emal notifications for bugreport updated? What is the correct way of updating bug reports. I'm using the 'edit' functionality now...

Fix record

Commited to svn and fixed.

There's no email notification when status of bugs change, you can add any note to help others once the resolution is done using 'edit'

also change the BugStatus.
