no it's neither silly nor useless: if you want to compare how the
two implementations behave (a comparison that you always need
when coding and debuggging new code) you need to have support
for both libraries available at the same time; additionally what I
proposed doesn't require any extra code: it's all already available.

(an appropriate comparison applies with demuxers: think
how practical would be having to reconfigure and recompile
mplayer just to have demux_mpg or demux_lavf compiled in
because they can't coexist)
