To answer my own question, 1.0.0-errata1 installs a broken pkg-config
.pc file [0].

This is fixed in a later commit [1] ... we might as well use the commit
you chose originally, which is later than the pkg-config fix commit.

This library's decoder is *very* expensive — it can't even decode
1280x720 in realtime on my Ivy Bridge i5-3230M. I'm sure it only gets
faster as they keep working on it.

I changed the libaom package to be more idiomatic about versioning from
Git [2] and edited the synopsis and description, and pushed as
84eb265eb8076876d2b569bcdff1e44b44b4b295

Thanks a lot!
