Hi Martin,

do you think this is a reasonable condition for Apple in configure?

       enable browser_launch
       if test -n "$sysroot"; then
           case "$sysroot" in
               */iPhone*.sdk|\
               */AppleTV*.sdk|\
               */WatchOS*.sdk|\
               */BridgeOS*.sdk)
                   disable browser_launch
                   ;;
           esac
       fi

This is not how we normally do it. String matching trying to detect things is generally brittle. If the problem is that we can't compile a call to system(), the configure check should try to compile a call to system(), and if that doesn't succeed, avoid compiling the code that does that. That also works for e.g. ShellExecuteA.

That said, I also agree with everybody else that I'd rather not have ffmpeg do this at all.
