Statically Linked FFmpeg for FreeBSD

Patches are made from these

Build hints from here and here

Why? Statically Linking is generally a Bad Idea(tm)!

Yes, but node packages really like statically linked FFmpeg and FreeBSD is pretty decent with symbol versioning so we can have this.

Updates

This binary requires a large number of patches and rebuilds of components to function so it will lag behind any other FFmpeg-static binaries by quite a bit. If you want updates please OPEN A TICKET but keep in mind this is a rather low priority to me.

TODO

• Add support for HW accel Not possible?

Bugs

• 5.1 passes FATE
• 5.1.1 has test failures
