[MPlayer-cygwin] Cygwin port won't play on other PC

Stefan,

That was a good suggestion but doesn't seem to be the case. The two
copies of cygwin1.dll on the PC were identical (both were from the 
mplayer installer since I was trying to install it in different 
directories).

Interestingly, using a different location for mplayer solves the 
problem. For eg. I installed the player in c:\tmp\mplayer and 
c:\userdata\hchhaya\mplayer and wasn't able to use it (it always 
died right after displaying the splash screen (this is Joey's port)
and created the mplayer.exe.stackdump file).
But when I installed it in c:\tmp, it worked fine.

As long as it worked, I was fine and so didn't bother to investigate
further.

I will try to build a cygwin version from the latest source this 
week and see if I can repeat this behaviour.

Thanks again for your help,
- Harshal
