In the cvs tarball I downloaded, there was no config.guess file.

Out of curiosity, if I were to use mencoder to convert the video and  
pass the "-nosound" option, use mplayer with "-ao pcm", run lame on  
the dumped file, and then mux the two files with "ffmpeg -i  
'file1.avi -i 'file2.mp3' -vcodec copy -acodec copy 'outfile.avi'",  
would it have the same effect as running mencoder with -oac mp3lame;  
specifically, would the audio-video sync be okay?
