Everything is automatically enabled indeed, but most of the system checks are
however implemented, and the internal dependency check loop has been ported,
making for a pretty fair comparison, if anything the amount of checks is probably
higher with the meson port.

Regarding build time (which as I stated is similar), the amount of object files being
compiled is also roughly the same.

Given the nature of FFmpeg's build system, a pure apples to apples comparison
is probably be going to be difficult to make, but I think the measurements I made
show differences significant enough to be worth mentioning.
