This way leads into the wrong direction ;) So what is wrong, if mplayer
just installs the english version when no $LINGUAS is present?

Yes, I always patch mplayer before compiling it, but it's not about me,
it's about the majority of the users, and I don't believe, that they
will be happy, if mplayer installs so much bloat. And I personally
wouldn't be happy, if I would have to patch every programs Makefile
before "make install"ing it.
