After a build under MingW using a CVS as of 20060213 (I should use 
latest but for some reason I cant update now!) I obtain:

$ ls -al */*.dll
-rwxr-xr-x    1 michel   Administ  8222457 Mar 14 18:25 
libavcodec/avcodec.dll
-rwxr-xr-x    1 michel   Administ  1272016 Mar 14 18:26 
libavformat/avformat.dll
-rwxr-xr-x    1 michel   Administ    55106 Feb 13 16:21 libavutil/avutil.dll

So, I suspect you're using an even older version of the build system, in 
which avformat *contains* avcodec. Do *you* have cvs access now?
