I've gone back again to try to work out upgrading libvpx to 1.5.0. While now,
as far as I can tell, everything that depends on it no longer breaks as a
result of the update, gst-plugins-good has been giving me serious problems.
After building it ~20 times, here's the one patch that I've gotten to
actually work. I'm not too happy with how it's done, with passing the
--disable-multifile flag. I tried disabling the failing test numerous ways
but that keeps on offering up other error messages that either cause the
build to fail or the test to fail anyway.

ANYWAY, it turns out gstreamer 1.7.x is an unstable release, and 1.8.x should
be coming out "soon". Extremely frusterating to bang my head against this for
so long and find out this is why.
