They are not part of the FFmpeg API, but that does not make including
them "invalid". What is the point of copying it into osdep except
complicating things? Just delete libavutil and the copy that file again
into a new libavutil directory.

Instead of rm -rf libav* create a script that deletes all files except
these? Not that I see that particularly as our problem, building against
an installed libav* is one thing, that should preferably supported, but
"user randomly deletes files and expects it to compile" is not our
issue.
