So we each get a cookie. :)  My plan worked, and after recompiling
gpac-libgpac vlc can once again understand divx. The error I got when
trying to rebuild openbox with an old libxlm2 (linked against the old
libz) was: undefined reference to `gzopen at ZLIBprivate_1.0'

Which makes sense because if I'm reading the change in r206709 right,
that's exactly what happened (gzopen et al moved from the private
interface to the public one).

For delphij's sake I'm not sure if there is a "bug" here. For something
with less subtle use of shared libs the solution would have been
obvious. It's the fact that (as Garrett pointed out) vlc plays tricks
that masked the real source of the problem.
