net-misc/mediatomb-0.12.1-r2 fails during configure with USE="libextractor".

configure: error: unable to configure libextractor support

To reproduce this error you need to build MediaTomb with USE="libextractor -ffmpeg -thumbnail". The ebuild will disable libextractor support if you try to build with the "ffmpeg" or "thumbnail" USE flags enabled.

This issue appears to be an API breakage caused by libextractor 0.6.0[1].

Unfortunately this is somewhat non-maintained package as per
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423991#c5

I have successfully compiled Mediatomb few days ago.

Installed versions:  0.12.1-r2{tbz2}(15:47:50 23.09.2012)(exif ffmpeg inotify javascript lastfm libextractor mp4 mysql taglib thumbnail -debug)

And it works perfectly.

I don't understand why Samuli Suominen plans removal in 30 days this popular package from portage.

Sorry for the terrible English.
