Patch attached

I believe at the time, I was trying to make the video package in the
octave forge hg repo to compile, so is changes to the current code in
that repo.

Changes were to check for some of the ffmpeg functions that are no
longer available in configure, check for octave_allocator (required to
compile in octave -4.0.X) and re-added back pkg-config (fedora puts
the includes in places that the old detection routines were not
finding), which fails  over to the old detetection if no pkg-config is
available
