Bug #99056 for Alien-ffmpeg: Does not build with AB 0.005

There was a change in Alien::Base 0.005 which affects some packages that do no use autotools but uses an autotools style configure script. Alien::ffmpeg is one of those affected (the only one that I could find on CPAN). Please see attached log for details. There is a very easy, one line fix that would correct this, which has been made into a pull request here: https://github.com/Getty/p5-alien-ffmpeg/pull/1 Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this change.
