which is *not* true

* it was removed in some snapshot
* in a later release tarball *after* that snapshot it was there again
* in the 4.0 release snapshot it is gone again
* at begin of this year build against latest x264 failed
* then there was a snapshot which fixed that without ffserver
* later ffmpeg-3.4.2.tar.xz contaiend that fix but again ffserver
* 4.0 again don't contain ffserver

the main problem is a idiotic behavior that --disable-ffserver is a
*hard* configure error just because ffserver was removed anyways while
that option refelects exactly the situation "no ffserver please"
