other projects just need to #define PIC if __PIC__ is defined, no other
change is needed, in no case do they need to mangle the libav* source

of course not, its still a mess
just add #ifdef __PIC__ #define PIC #endif to a central header, config.h or
common.h maybe if you really want this in the source and not the build system

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
