Comment (by bubbleguuum):
It's true that static builds are rather niche but they can have their use.
It is especially practical on Android to bundle a FFmpeg static binary
with an app (usually custom, for smaller size).
And on Android you want to limit the APK size, thus integrating ffprobe
and ffmpeg functionality in a single binary makes sense.
A single static binary can also be useful in Docker images (easier to add
to the image, especially if custom built).
It's also practical for Windows programs bundling FFmpeg (needing ffmpeg +
ffprobe).
Though I understand why you'd want to not add this functionality in the
main source, and as shown by the patch I attached, it is trivial to do for
users that need it.
