[flac-dev] A few patches to git MASTER

[Jaren Stangret]

Hi Erik,

I must also apologize for the delay.

Thanks for taking the look at the patches.  I'll have to look into why
Gentoo has these patches.  I mostly just grabbed and forwarded them onto
you to help minimize the amount of patches needed for Gentoo's FLAC package.

I'll ask around and see what happens.

Thanks again.
