I don't think this is a good idea.
libav* are independents from ffmpeg, and they don't need ffmpeg
to be used. Moreover, those libs already comes with a proper pkg-config
support, so why not use it instead ?
Anyway this don't solve the problem of internal libav* support, which
needs to know what codec to enable/disable depending on the various
libs installed on the system. Currently the master place for these
dependency informations is FFmpeg's ./configure, which is not part of
MPlayer's source tree.
