Nice one! All config options on 1 line

1:36pm avlib >> strings /usr/lib64/libavformat.so.57 | grep "enable-shared"
--prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share/ffmpeg --incdir=/usr/include/ffmpeg --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man 
--extra-cflags=-I../Nvidia --disable-crystalhd --enable-gnutls --enable-decoder=aac --enable-pthreads --enable-shared --disable-stripping 
--shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-libxcb
