	Several things caught my eye when looking at the logs.

	quicktime4linux should be removed, it is incompatible with libdv and
	even if no automake (or other auto* tools) errors were encountered
	the compilation would fail later on due to quicktime4linux.   If
	quicktime support is required then libquicktime should be used 
	instead.

	movtar support has been removed in later versions so there is no
	need to build libmovtar, suggestion is to rm -r that and 
	quicktime4linux.

	I think some of the ./autogen.sh errors are due to 1.6.1's 
	configure.in and *.am files being incompatible with later versions
	of autoconf/automake/libtool.

	mjpegtools-1.6.1 is quite old - I think better results would be
	obtained by using the 1.6.2 version (even better would be the CVS
	version).

	mjpegtools can be build fine on a PPC based system (I use a G4/PPC
	OS/X system) so I think the problems revolve around auto* versions
	related issues.
