           Summary: [win32] libtool refuses to link static ffmpeg
                    libraries to shared libgstffmpeg.dll
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

Libtool developers decided that on Windows it is unsafe to link static
libraries to shared libraries and disabled (removed?) that functionality in
libtool on Windows.
But gst-ffmpeg does exactly that, thus some hacks are necessary to perform
static linking.
