Yes, that would be great.

I don't think it's worth to implement 2) and 3). All libav libraries are
pretty stable SONAME wise, and I really need to know when the SONAME
changes.

I agree that 1) is the only one that has priority. 2) might be nice to
have, but I don't consider it particularily important. 3) even less.
