Compilation errors against ffmpeg 1.0.3 and 1.1.1

[Alexander Gerasimov]

Tried to build it against ffmpeg 1.0.3 on CentOS 6.3 x86_64:

Apparently newer ffmpeg versions contain time.h header, which breaks the build if we add the path to it to the include path.
I don't see an easy way to fix this without breaking the build for older ffmpeg versions, so I guess it just has to be done.
Fixed in git, but the extension won't build with older ffmpeg releases after that.
Thanks for reporting this, btw.

[Alexander Gerasimov]

Thank you for fast response!

Please apply a small fix:

config.m4, line 24 ("if" missing):
if test -f $i/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h; then

[Antony Dovgal]

Oh, indeed, sorry about that.
Pushed the fix.

How to fix this ?
