That is a very good suggestion, yes.

Given that configure lists the name of the demuxer as mov
and its actual name in the code starts with "mov" and
the file that contains the source code for the demuxer is
called mov.c I think it is safe to say that the "mp4"
demuxer is part of the "mov" demuxer.

No, the name of the demuxer is:
"mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2"
