I believe this /etc/X11/XvMCConfig file is new as of X.org 6.8.2.

Perhaps you upgraded your X server since the last time you compiled
XvMC? ./configure will try to link to libXvMCW if it exists, otherwise
it tries to link to the vendor specific libraries. You were probably
linking to the vendor specific libXvMCNVIDIA before upgrading the
X server to one that includes libXvMCW...
