I wouldn't mind a src subdirectory.

But even in that case there is no good reason not to group all build
system helper files into a subdirectory instead of keeping them scattered
around. More along the lines of

  libav/
  libav/Changelog
  libav/README
  libav/src/
  libav/src/Makefile
  libav/src/configure
  libav/src/av{conv,play,probe}.*
  libav/src/avbuild/
  libav/src/libavcodec/
