Because I could :-)
But yes, I found the binary size difference quite compelling.
Some of the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL stuff gains us less.
And for something like e.g. a Windows GUI program linking against
libav* these messages are likely close to completely useless.
If people think it's too ugly for the value I don't have much of
an issue dropping it though, I just wanted to see what is necessary
for it.
Longer term, I was wondering about using this scheme as a replacement
for av_dlog.
