It does not make sense to issue a 'release' since at the first bug 
report regarding the 'release', the reply will be 'use cvs'.

IMHO, either a release is declared, *and* it is supported; or, the 
cvs-only-support rule remains in force, and the only thing to do is to 
state very it clearly in all the docs.

The shared-libs MingW build with VC++ compatibility produces DLLs merged 
together (ie, avutil is in avcodec, and avcodec+avutil are in avformat).
