We just noticed that the Chromium Helper.app cannot locate the ffmpeg
binaries (libav*.dylib) in Mac Chromium.  This leads to the video feature
being disabled. :(
Where should the ffmpeg binaries go?  Should they be put alongside the
binary in the Chromium Helper.app/Contents/MacOS?  If we do this, I think it
will break --single-process mode unless we keep a copy of the binary in both
spots (which is ugly).

Is there a shared location that both application bundles will be able to
search for the ffmpeg binaries?

P.S. The reason this wasn't noticed earlier is that all the video devs have
been executing the app either by setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in their
environment manually, or via Xcode -- which sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to
include the output directory, again allowing for resolution of the ffmpeg
binaries.  Using --single-process also avoids this issue since it doesn't
use Chromium Helper.  *sigh*
