Maybe it would be possible for the RPM's and DEB's to compile and install the
encoders when they install the rest of the mjpeg toolkit?
Surely it can't be too hard to add a compile command in the install scripts?
Yes, I know this is not a mjpeg problem, I'm just hoping that the people who
make the RPM's and DEB's read this list as well.
