I've noticed that some projects (or was it distros) put the debugging 
symbols in a separate file, so there's no duplication of executable 
code. So, no ffmpeg_g en ffmpeg, but just one ffmpeg and a ffmpeg.dbg 
file containing only the debugging symbols. I've never used it myself 
like that, but I like the idea.
