I don't think this is valid anymore.  We use the Python setup.py distutils,
and do not package ffmpeg or mlt without code.  This was a complaint of the
old build wizard, I think.

Bug description:
I'm really impressed by the OpenShot screenshots and screencasts, but current methods of installation are a real showstopper for me. When installing third-party programs, specially development versions, I want some flexibility that neither the build wizard and the debs give me.

I would like to be able to at least specify the directories for both installation and libraries. Specifying a directory for libraries is particularly important to test with bleeding-edge versions of ffmpeg and mlt avoiding any conflicts with programs compiled for old versions (such as kdenlive).

The best course of action would be to use autotools.
