Why not? :))

Seriously, its one hunk less to maintain for people who have hacked their
ffmpeg to be msvc compileable. And it does no harm to us.
Maybe we can one day even support MSVC fully, it just needs MSVC to
support standard C or someone to come up with a clean workaround. Like
a little perl script to convert the problematic syntax before feeding it
to the compiler.
