CMake isn't going to change whether FFmpeg detects libx264. That's what
PKG_CONFIG_PATH and friends are meant for.  If it fails, it's usually
for some other reason in the configuration.

That guide is also part of the reason I feel merely having the option
of CMake is a plus.  No one's suggested replacing the current build
system, and it's good to have choices.
