I've been using avs2yuv with avisynth on wine with great success. I 
haven't encountered any filters I cannot use, but in terms of input 
plugins, getting DirectShowSource to work can be tricky; try the latest 
wine releases (although I am still on 0.9.30, using avs2yuv to output to 
fifos and mencoder using those as inputs is broken in 0.9.36). 
Mpeg2source, avcsource and avisource are not much of a problem.

I too would love to completely replace avisynth, but there's quite a lot 
that avisynth is capable of that isn't possible with mencoders filters.

That said, the basics are not much of an issue, as already pointed out.

There's one interesting sidenote:

If, in some obscure way, I could feed mencoder the .avs scripts 
directly, that would really be nice, but I haven't managed to get that 
working.

Google for avs2yuv ;)
