Doesn't look bad - definitely better than what we'd had if we had kept
the old ffserver.

I don't quite like that it appears to use the libavformat HTTP server
(a thing which I question whether it really should exist), but whatever.

Documentation is a bit lacking.

Does the code assume av_fifo is thread safe? Because last time I
looked, it claimed to be, but wasn't.
