    Hi, D Richard Felker III!

Sometime (on Thursday, February 13 at 16:32) I've received something...

    You have to respect others. :)  You may set environment variable
LINGUAS="" and so you will have no localized manpages at all. :)  For
example do it in Makefile.in (fill LINGUAS by ./configure):

--------------------------------------------------------------------
LINGUAS = 

install-man:
    if [ -n "$(LINGUAS)" ]; then
        for i in $(LINGUAS); do
            mkdir -p $(mandir)/$$i/man1
            install -m 644 DOCS/$$i/mplayer.1 $(mandir)/$$i/man1
        done
    fi
--------------------------------------------------------------------

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
