Alas, still no luck in getting dvdnav support:

As normal user, unless otherwise noted:
1.  cd /home/bill/opt/mplayerfiles
2.  svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/dvdnav/trunk/libdvdnav libdvdnav
         A    libdvdnav/examples/Makefile.am
          U   libdvdnav
         Checked out revision 951.
3.  cd libdvdnav
4.  ./configure2
5.  make
6.  as root:  make install
7.  cd /usr/local/bin
8.  ./dvdnav-config --minilibs && echo I AM USING THE RIGHT VERSION OF DVDNAV
         Usage: dvdnav-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
         Options:
                 [--prefix[=DIR]]
                 [--version]
                 [--libs]
                 [--cflags]

<To be clear, echo of "I AM USING. . ." does not occur.>

9.  as root:  ./dvdnav-config --minilibs && echo I AM USING THE RIGHT VERSION OF DVDNAV
         Usage: dvdnav-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
         Options:
                 [--prefix[=DIR]]
                 [--version]
                 [--libs]
                 [--cflags]

<To be clear, echo of "I AM USING. . ." does not occur.>
Attempting to configure mplayer anyway, of course, does not work:
1.  make distclean
2.  snv update
         Updated to revision 23952.
3.  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/mplayer/ --enable-xmms --enable-gui --enable-larg efiles
         Checking for DVD support (libdvdnav) ... no
4.  cat configure.log
         ============ Checking for DVD support (libdvdnav) ============
         4.1.1
         Usage: dvdnav-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
         Options:
                 [--prefix[=DIR]]
                 [--version]
                 [--libs]
                 [--cflags]

         Result is: no

A possibly relevant section of dvdnav-config is:
     --libs)
       echo_libs=yes
       ;;
     --minilibs)
       if test "$dvdread" = "external"; then
           echo_minilibs=yes
       else
           usage 1 1>&2
       fi
       ;;
     *)
       usage 1 1>&2
       ;;
   esac
   shift
done
