Thanks, Nico.  So far I have found only one copy of dvdnav-config:
	[root at desk usr]# which dvdnav-config
	/usr/local/bin/dvdnav-config
	[root at desk usr]# cd /
	[root at desk /]# find -name 'dvdnav-config'
	./usr/local/bin/dvdnav-config
	[root at desk /]#
Using the "--with-dvdnav-config" option results in:
1.  cd /home/bill/opt/mplayerfiles/mplayer/
2.  make distclean
3.  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/mplayer/ --enable-xmms --enable-gui --enable-largefiles 
--with-dvdnav-config=/usr/local/bin/dvdnav-config
	>Checking for DVD support (libdvdnav) ... no
4.  cat configure.log
	>============ Checking for DVD support (libdvdnav) ============
	>4.1.1
	>Usage: dvdnav-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
	>Options:
	>        [--prefix[=DIR]]
	>        [--version]
	>        [--libs]
	>        [--cflags]
	>
	>Result is: no
	>##########################################

I have also tried forcing the issue by including "--enable-dvdnav" with the ./configure 
command but, of course, this does not compile.  Searching this list for "minilibs" is not 
helpful.  Perhaps the libdvdnav package available through svn has a problem?
