I'm more confused. How does an external coder work? I've got a Pi so
would appreciate anything that makes encoding a faster process on an ARM
chip. I'm using mpeg4 as that's the most reliable.

I agree, param description is confusing and needs to be updated. I will
file an issue and propose a patch as soon as we migrate and the repo is
available for bug filing
For now try using ext pipe.
Set ffmpeg_output_movies off
And use, for example, x264 encoder:
extpipe x264 - --input-res %wx%h --fps %fps --bitrate 2000 --preset
ultrafast --quiet -o %f.mp4
Give it a try

What external application will do a better job than ffmpeg? I thought
ffmpeg was optimised for various chip architectures?
I still don't follow ffmpeg_video_codec. What are the correct options
and when? It sounds like for timelapse, there are two (swf and mpeg4),
and for motion video, there is a wider list. If so, do we need two video
codec options, one for timelapse and one for motion detection?
But why would I want two - I'd like one type for all videos produced.

The libmicrohttpd seems like a good plan. Light. What I meant was like -
do not assume Apache installed or require that the apache libs are used.
That would kill Motion on a small box.
I like your idea with libmicrohttpd
