Well I used CVS for a long while befor joining the list or getting
write access, but I guess I just didn't notice or forgot about
that...or maybe it was earlier still. In any case, is the lavc in
mplayer CVS up-to-date? If so, would it make more sense to tell users
to check it out from there? Might be easier for the ones who don't
know how to copy and paste a command line, much less actually use CVS
themselves... :)
