Tried your patch, and it mostly works great.

Here's my wishlist for -lavfdopts format=help to make it more like the
other help options:

- -lavfdopts format=help shouldn't require a file to play;

- make it possible to use it with other help options so that
  mplayer -vo help -vf help -lavfdopts format=help
  would print all three lists for example;

- also make -demuxer help -lavfdopts format=help list both
  demuxers and lavf formats.

I know I may be asking too much, but the patch will be very useful even
as is.
