See my patch in the other thread (I shall refresh it soon).

MPlayer's configure will run all the checks that MPlayer needs, but
no more.  This is the only way to remain independent of FFmpeg
changes.  Of course this means that some of the same things are
checked, but this is unavoidable.

MPlayer's configure or FFmpeg's?
