[Bf-committers] ffmpeg as static lib for all platforms

[Ben Stabler]

I think libtiff should definitely be static linked,  I think it was at 
one point?

SDL should, IMO, definitely *not* be static linked, as it is required 
for games that have been made to executables, so unless it was then 
implanted into the executables it is nice to have it in the blender 
folder so you can copy it out instead of having to source it from 
somewhere else (or worse, compile it)
