By 'svn installed' I meant of course 'svn installed, functional, and
able to download ffmpeg'. The web page says "You can choose between a
full checkout that you can update with Subversion". Hence I could
rephrase as:
If you cant update with svn, what is the use of a snapshot that *might*
be updated with svn? And if you can update with svn, why download a
snapshot?
