_I_ think that would be a good solution, adding the appropriate compiler flags
would be possible, too, but it certainly will be more than one line in configure
(at least: Makefile so it is only used for that file, configure: only check
if the flag is available, don't add it to cflags, fail or disable dxva if it
is not supported).
You could of course make this removal depend on a define being set if you want
to keep compatibility.
Of course one point to consider is whether possibly a stripped-down version
of the header should be committed to FFmpeg if the "default" Microsoft one will
not work for it (at least not without adding extra CFLAGS).
