 As of pkgsrc-HEAD in the freeze before pkgsrc-2018Q2, the problem
 described in this PR persists.
 
 There was a suggestion to try building VLC 3.0.x from the pkgsrc-wip
 project ("wip/vlc"), but recent updates to qt5 cause building "wip/vlc"
 to fail.  "wip/vlc-git" seems not to be fetchable (metadata only).
