we already had this discussion, apparently without any benefit.

I aknowledge that at the moment libavutil must be compiled using
our local copy, but this situation is really suboptimal, because
- as Baptiste said - there are people like him, me and many others that
want to share the globally installed libav* among all software that use 
them.
What should be done is fix/restore the compilability of mplayer
using the globally installed libavutil, rather that mandating
our own copy (swscale is the only impediment that I remember) .

Said this, compiling mplayer using our local copy and linking it to
the global libavutil sounds as total nonsense to me, and defeats
the purpose of not having to checkout libav* in mplayer.
