Tim-
I don't know what you're doing wrong, but I am the creator of those
scripts and I am one of the maintainers of video4linux cvs and I certify
that the scripts are still present in video4linux cvs, and will remain
so as long as the video4linux and dvb-kernel development trees exist
separately.
Please, go back and ensure that you've read the directions in the howto
properly. It states that you must have downloaded both cvs trees to the
same directory, cd into video4linux, and run 'scripts/merge-trees.sh'
... The script is in the video4linux/scripts/ directory! If you cannot
see such a file, then the problem is a result of something that you're
doing incorrectly.
