It's not defined

I already tested these patches, and to be sure tested it again:
- ebuild libXvMC-0.99.1.ebuild unpack; cd /var/tmp/portage/libXvMC-0.99.1
- patch <libXvMC-0.99.1.patch
- ebuild libXvMC-0.99.1.ebuild merge
- ebuild xf86-video-via-0.1.32_p20051115.ebuild unpack; cd /var/tmp/...
- patch <xf86-video-via-0.1.32_p20051115.patch
- ebuild xf86-video-via-0.1.32_p20051115.ebuild merge

The patches apply w/o any problem, the packages compile fine - but still the 
same behaviour, Xv is not initialized (refering to Xorg.log) and 
XvExtension is not defined in xf86-video-via's config.h .

I also tried to simply append
AC_DEFINE(XvExtension,1,[Enable X Video support])
to configure.ac ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4720 ) but 
that didn't changed anything either (to be honest I have no knowledge about 
editing configure.ac, perhaps you have some other ideas).

Thanks & Regards
