Also OpenMandriva use cool stuff which solves this issue in yet another way. They are using dllopen. This mean, FFmpeg (and others aplication) can support restricted libs like x264 or x265 etc at runtime. This mean, FFmpeg is compiled via dllopen and if you need for example support for x265, then you only need install x265 lib from repo and then ffmpeg start supporting it without any recompiltion. Just out-of-box.
