As those libraries implement the same API (well divx5 headers removed
the *311 option & that's how it's detected) there's no easy way to know
that the header files you are using don't match the library you'll link
with (or I ve not looked closer enough :)

Just get sure to specify your includes with the configure
--*extra-include* option.
