Is there any reason why h.264 encoding isn't enabled by default in the configure script?

Description
As is, h.264 decoding works by default, but encoding requires the x264 library. Considering h.264's performance in real-time communications, is there a plan to integrate this into the FFmpegInterop project and its configuration script?
If there's no known major issues, and it's just that the work hasn't been done yet, I'll take a stab at it.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the configure script and the FFmpegInterop integration points mentioned in the issue. Check how x264 availability affects H.264 encoding and determine whether enabling it by default introduces compatibility or other constraints; done means the configuration supports the intended default and encoding behavior is verified.
