This statement conveys (at least to me) the implication that with
dynamic FFmpeg, DASH support will come automatically if the dynamic
FFmpeg copy being used was compiled with that support. Is that accurate?

I was originally going to call the test unnecessary, because this
assignment is already inside the else clause of an 'if test "$ffmpeg_a"
= yes'. However, on re-examining I notice that that if block actually
tests two conditions, only one of which is related to internal vs.
external FFmpeg, so I think I approve of that part of the change.

The suggested phrasing seems overly lengthy and verbose to me, but it
does reflect an established usage, and this is one instance where I
don't expect to bikeshed over it.

Sure, no objections. It's a few more bytes, but strictly more compliant,
and matches the established pattern now that I look for one.

Should I respin and resubmit the patch, once the above question is
addressed, or are people OK with making these changes independently of
me?
