XBMC with External FFMPEG

I used to do this awhile ago on my HTPC. Its pretty slow building XBMC on an Atom CPU. I gave up building my own builds because I ended up running in to problems (segfaults etc). When I installed 10.04 I decided I didn't want to install various build dependencies and libraries on my HTPC
Now I want Hi10P support on XBMC. An XBMC build compiled to use external FFmpeg libraries is the only way to achieve that until XBMC developers update the internal libraries (due after Eden apparently)
I now build XBMC and FFmpeg in a VM using VMware Player (which features (since version 3.0) the ability to create new virtual machines YAY!). Configure switches have been customised for myself. YMMV.
