After removing the svn:external (which I don't mind) I wouldn't like to
automatically have run svn co on the other repo if libdvd* isn't found in the
system as brought up for discussion by compn, because without internal
libdvd* let the user decide whether he wants DVD support or not (and thus
don't press such user to have svn installed if they have grabbed a source
already checked out by somebody else - offered on some website, for example).
