1. Printing warnings is completely useless unless maybe in ffmpeg.c
interactive usage (if the user has good eyes). For API users or
ffmpeg.c automated shell scripts this helps absolutely nothing.
2. There are some "theoretical" checks for fclose() on files opened in
read-only mode. This makes no sense. Even if fclose() should fail for
whatever obscure reasons there might be, reading already worked
without errors, and thus closing failure has no meaning to use.

Just what is the point?
