I'm nor sure any more but y4mscaler was programmed by Matthew 
Marjanovic. He did a lot for the mjpegtools project but he did never put 
y4mscaler into the mjpegtools project. So I/we did never distribute the 
y4mscaler with the mjpegtools or include it to the CVS.

unlikely ;)

If you mean not including y4mscaler. I think the program is a projects 
close to the mjpegtools. And is not included like a other tools people 
wrote you find on the mjpeg.sf.net

If it is just a compiling problem you can post the steps you have done 
on this mailinglist. Someone should have an idea.
