Thanks.

The minimum version required by gst-plugins-ugly is 0.66, and your
patched one is version 0.67, so in the light of what you say it should
compile.  Whether it will work with the flavour of h264 used by GMail I
will in due course find out.  (I know that that has been problematic,
but recent versions of x264 seem to be OK with GMail.)
