If the ffmpeg HW decoder/encoder wrappers are disabled, then associated 
libraries cuda, d3d11.. should also be disabled.

They are not because of autodetect. configure picks up 6 libs here. And 
since they are AD, users may not realize that they are included - I 
didn't; I thought disable-hwaccels did that - till I happened to check 
configure's result for another lib I was linking.

--disable-autodetect disables others besides the HW libs. The users may 
not know if they want/need these other libs, but if HW codecs are 
disabled, then those libs used exclusively by them, should not get linked.

P.S. Isn't AMF for providing support for AMD GPU decoder/encoders?
