+ - It is recommanded to build FFmpeg twice, first with minimal external depandancies so
+   that 3rd party packages, which depend on FFmpegs libavutil/libavfilter/libavcodec/libavformat
+   can then be build. And last build FFmpeg with full depandancies (which may in turn depen on
+   some of these 3rd party packages). This avoids circular depandancies during build.
