Comment (by RedDwarf):

 Don't you think that if the user says "--enable-avformat" and the
 configure script, for whatever reason, doesn't enable it it should either:

 - Fail with an error
 - Succeed with a warning

 ?

 Sure, the dependency exists. But the intention of a user writing
 "--disable-all --enable-avformat" is clear and the configure script is
 just ignoring him.
