The latest 1.8.x libmjpegtools release didn't include a required header
file (mpeg2enc/mpeg2syntaxcodes.h), so if you don't have that installed,
we won't build the plugin. Some distros have fixed their packages to
include it, others haven't.

In general, the config.log file will usually give you more information
about what exactly the configure script checked for and what failed.
