Something like this commit should do the trick:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/x264.git;a=commitdiff;h=ceab497a30560db9db7bf6ded594400f76a2686a

This is not finished, though. It still needs documentation in
README.Debian. I'm also thinking about included a wrapper script that
sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And it is of course totally untested, so
feedback more than welcome.
