Just distribute the source code of known working versions of the
dependent tools with the Myth tarball, and compile them with "myth-"
prepended onto them as part of the the Myth build process. You don't
care if your users happen to already have buggy ffmpeg.0.3.5.unstable
on their system, because Myth brought it's own
myth-ffmpeg.0.3.1.stable with it and uses only that.
