Actually I think this is too complicated. I would suggest instead (and
on the download page, too) to do:

cd main
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg  co -Pd
libavcodec ffmpeg/libavcodec

and the same for libavformat..

Actually according to the cvs docs it should be possible to do
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg  co -Pd
main/libavcodec ffmpeg/libavcodec

Without cd to main first, but that gives
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not change directory to requested checkout
directory `main': No such file or directory
for me ???
