Theora and Video Conferencing

There has been a lot of discussion of video conferencing using the XO, and a
demo activity was created last year.  However, our video codec of choice,
Theora, has not been able to encode fast enough to do real-time streaming at
acceptable quality.

As detailed at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5988 , we now have some suggestions
from the libtheora developers on how to accelerate encoding.  Any volunteers
willing to build and benchmark SVN Theora would be more than welcome.
