this is a revert of the previous two commit. I cannot see the wrong part
here in the first half of your sentence.

I therefore think that your 2nd comment:

> Unrelated: Could you explain the result_comment, I don't understand it.

is not unrelated at all. My understanding of the issue is explained in
Message-ID: <87r5jrmtx1.fsf at faui44a.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>.
Relevant part follows:

,----
| Oh, now I see it. mplayer is only able to playback vp8 via libavcodec,

| anyway. This check only ensures that the mplayer binary gets linked with

`----

res_comment now reads
"dynamic linking to libvpx is irrelevant when using dynamic libavcodec"

the previous wording was:
"libavcodec (static) is required by libvpx, sorry"

to me, the previous wording is way more confusing than the current one,
although I'm obviously biased.

I'd love to, but I'd need your help with the 'how'?
