Where are those builds? Is there anything special about them or were
they just some CVS snapshots?

Where is that patch?

Hmm, maybe we should finally add this everywhere, something like
DOCS/Makefile:
docs:
cat mplayer.1 | sed s/SS\ 20/SS\ 4/ | groff -man -Thtml - > manpage.html
> - add small README describing limits etc (release notes)
Once we have Win32 DLLs working there should not be many limitations
left. Currently the only limitations I know of are:
1) no Win32 DLLs
2) QT DLLs crash or produce garbled image
3) OpenGL does not work
4) SDL video crashes, SDL audio is distorted
5) fails to compile with --disable-streaming
6) fails to compile with --enable-menu
7) no GUI
3) + 4) are not important now that we have -vo directx and -ao win32 and
seem to have shaked out most bugs, I have a solution in store for 5) +
6), we just need to flesh out a few details.
Is there something missing from that list?
What about Real DLLs, did anybody get them to work?

Yes, let's do it.
Is there a way to compile MPlayer statically (or whatever) so that it
does not need a full Cygwin environment? Has anybody tried this with
MPlayer or some other application?
