Alternatively, can't we jsut revert that upstream patch you pinted to:
    https://freeswitch.org/fisheye/changelog/freeswitch?cs=febe0f8dacea2d2a31902b3dc469be757f8c3c4d

to re-introduce support for an external libvpx?

At best, it would be nice if upstreamed offered the option to support an
external one, with a ./configure option:

    --with-libvpx={bunddled*,external,/path/to/libvpx/prefix}

Hopefully, they are not stubborn, and will listen if we come up with
good arguments... ;-)
