It's a bit awkward because of the git submodules so I made a start at
writing a port to help out with that, but got carried away and got it
to build.

Seems to run OK in very light testing but I haven't tried anything fancy..

Not sure what's going on with x11/wxWidgets,-media; compiling fails if
the header isn't available but it doesn't seem to either link to or dlopen
the library.
