"-ffmpeg libav" is a valid combination, given that "ffmpeg" can be set
per-package, whereas typically there would be only a global setting of
"libav". It is quite a similar situation to what we had with openmotif
and lesstif, where the motif flag enabled the feature, and the lesstif
flag chose the implementation.

Or is it the name of the flag that is causing confusion? That could be
changed.
