The reason I wrote this is that the commit merged from libav is now also making 
configure define __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO on those version where we instead only 
added mscrt/snprintf.o
That's why i asked if using both the compat file and the define on those versions 
is correct or not, because if not then we should undo the commit in question and 
put things back like you left them.
