In principles, this seems correct to me, as far as x264 does not support run-
time selection of bit depth.

But:
* I think it will not work with dynamic linking due to conflicting unversioned 
symbols, 
* I think it is quite bold for VLC to invent its own .pc file name on behalf of 
x264. Maybe the x264 guys should be involved.
