[packman] [opensuse-factory] Fwd: commit libavutil for openSUSE:Factory

[Dave Plater]

I have been working on a static build of libavutil included in the hg
version of xine-lib but was having difficulty getting that version of
xine-lib to build. Unfortunately I'm computerless atm but this would
certainly solve the problem.
