[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] configure: autodetect opencl

Hi,

Similar to the way SDL is being autodetected, the attached patch proposes to autodetect OpenCL.

Rationale for the change:
* OpenCL linking typically happens against the OpenCL ICD's import library. Hence there is no hard-linking against the OpenCL ICD's DLL/shared library. So ffmpeg should continue to run fine for non-OpenCL cases even when OpenCL runtime is not available on the user's system.
* Enabling OpenCL is relatively low-impact since it does not automatically disable or override any existing functionality. The user still needs to explicitly specify opencl=1 in the filter options when using ffmpeg to use the OpenCL path.

Please review the patch and share your comments on the same.

Thanks and Regards,
Maneesh
