The checks in there seem both overly complex and also not correct to me.
I've never seen a "*_filter" in a check_pkg_config or similar call.
With this setup, it'd be possible to call configure with 
--enable-libvmaf, and have it success, even though there is no libvmaf 
on the system, as long as the filter is disabled.

If you want to go the implicit route, you'll want the following two things:

For the dependencies

 > libvmaf_cuda_filter_deps="libvmaf libvmaf_cuda ffnvcodec"

And then at some point after the current "require_pkg_config libvmaf" check:

> enabled libvmaf && check_pkg_config libvmaf_cuda "libvmaf >= 2.0.0" libvmaf_cuda.h vmaf_cuda_state_init

I think there's a place in configure where a bunch of such optional 
checks happen.
But I see no issue with throwing it right after the current libvmaf 
check either.
