To follow the "principle of least astonishment", the static lib install should do what --help hints, ie install libraries and headers; or be renamed to something else, like --enable-statically-linked-ffmpeg, with different --help. I've considerably reworked and simplified the build system today. This issue should be solved now. Reports welcome, I could not test on Win32.

I'll do some cygwin builds at work on Monday, if nobody beats me to it.
