That's right.
This is the easier way to create a compatible
makefile for android build system.
Considering the target (android) is well-known,
there is no real benefit to configure codecs/(de)muxers
dynamically.

I also considered to generate the android config.*
from configure script on the fly.
However, the output config.mak of configure is not friendly
to android build system. It exports some variables
like CC, CFLAGS that will conflict with
the android build system.
(Note Android doesn't use sub-make --
all sub-makefiles are included in from the main makefile
and all vars in sub-makefiles are exported)

If you can modify the output of configure, say,
splitting it into two files to let ARCH_*,
HAVE_*, CONFIG_* vars in one file and
others in another file, that would be more
friendly to android build system.
Then I could generate the android config.* on the fly.
