I cannot imagine how anybody could be against this.  Please give us
credit.

No, Win32 DLLs do not work on Cygwin with standard mplayer, but it
would be lovely to have this.  Cool!  I think Sascha Sommer is working
on this, but it's not finished yet.  Why don't you try to work more
closely with us on these things?  Then you would not need to have your
own fork of MPlayer.  I'm sure many of your patches would be accepted.
