Turns out that the avio plugin doesn't get compiled with libav...

I thought that things had gone a little too well with xine-lib 1.2.5. Turns
out that we're NOT actually using libav10's libavformat due to a version
check failure – we look for 55.19.0 but its version is 55.12.0, and there are
other... subtle differences.

Debian uses libav. Consequently, xine-lib being properly useable with libav
is important to me as a package maintainer; and in that context, I don't care
about compiling against ffmpeg; and if it comes to a choice between the two
upstream, I'll choose libav on the grounds that it's less hassle for me.

Basically, in this case, Petri Hintukainen should have checked the avio
plugin against libav, and I should have caught that it didn't work (isn't
being compiled).

On the bright side, since this causes new functionality to be missing, it
isn't actually a regression!
