It was "wrong" using -formats with newer FFmpeg if you want the checks 
within the autoconf script and Perl code to actually work as expected.
-formats used to list codecs and now you have to use -codecs to list
the codecs. Since Nov 19th 2009.

Anyway, I was just making an attempt to push this stuff back upstream 
but it looks like as usual with FFmpeg (and more so with the command 
line tools) its a pain to support a wide range of versions. But long
term something has to be done since OS's are not going backwards with
their FFmpeg releases/snaps ;)
