It happens the same under Cygwin, I removed the SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR for 
things to work.
I believe it is because the last suffix must be ".dll", probably it will 
work if named as "avcodec-51.dll".
The first dot is the suffix separator (in MSWorld), hence "avcodec.51.dll" 
won't work either, as here the suffix is ".51.dll"
