You are right. HAVE_AV_CONFIG_H is defined also for the tools binaries.
But this seems to be the only case where it causes an issue.

Looking at the generation tool, it seems to be quite a complex task
to shape things in a way that it can be compiled with VS...
I can't speak for the author of the tool, but I think when at least
some cases that can easily be avoided (to require workarounds) at
the ffmpeg side, then it would be a good thing.
In that specific case, the version.h files from ALL libs are included
just not from avfilter, so I think it would also add to clarity to 
include it directly.

Similar goes for the DCE issue. For me there's just more clarity when
those bits are guarded by #if blocks, but I don't want to open a 
discussion about that. Just thank you for the quick patch to resolve
it!

Kind regards,
