I've got x264 from the GIT repo with `git clone 
git://git.videolan.org/x264.git`. It's been compiled and installed into 
/usr/local/lib (which is included in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf and 
ldconfig has been run.

The specific reasion for wanting x264 is because I have scripts written 
that way and I didn't want to have to learn how to convert the 
parameters I use in lavc to implement the same in x264, and then test 
the results on all the devices I am making h.264 video for. Is that lazy 
of me ;-)
