I can currently lock it into a version range. Right now it just checks
for X265_BUILD >= 5.

The way so far with libx264 has been to bump the minimum required build.

I hope the x265 API is not too volatile -- I don't think people over at Libav
and FFmpeg will like me submitting weekly patches for API breakage.
