  I don't know why, but there were indeed ffmpeg 0.10.2 and 0.10.3
versions installed.  Doing...

emerge --unmerge ffmpeg
emerge ffmpeg

...uninstalled the 0.10.3 version and re-installed it, which is not what
I wanted.  What I had to do was...

emerge --unmerge ffmpeg  (uninstalls 0.10.3)
emerge --unmerge ffmpeg  (uninstalls 0.10.2)
emerge ffmpeg

revdep-rebuild did not detect any dependancies on 0.10.2.
