I would normally build my own and did look up the pinout. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think there was some kind of chip or circuit in the cable connector that made it it quite a bit harder than normal. There where some people who had done it but quality was sacrificed or something. I was still going to do it for my moded GC but never got around to it.
Yes the digital A/V port actually outputs YCbCr (a digital equivalent of YPbPr which is what component video uses) so you need a chip (active adapter). It can be converted to VGA (analog RGB), component (analog YPbPr), or DVI/HDMI (digital RGB). It's not worth it in my opinion but if you were to do it you really should build your own cable.
