Hi,
After chatting with Marcus I built libvpx by follwing these steps:
http://paste.awesom.eu/eiGL

The next thing to do was:
/Rebuild iceweasel with --with-system-libvpx in order to use this version./
Sam - do you have the steps needed to do so?

I will be away from Friday until Sunday, so I might not reply quick over
the weekend.
However I will build\test things as soon as possible.
