Definitely include this. The old bitmap fonts suck; you always have to
load different size ones depending on whether you're watching low-res
or hi-res movie.

LOL! Worrying about gif when we encode mp3, mpeg4, etc. seems sort of
silly. Might as well at least link it in, then the user can pick
libgif or libungif depending on which they prefer.

Also, gif support is nice for being able to watch animated gifs, and
libungif can decode any gif file.

Should probably move them to suboptions (-vo driver:opts) or just put
the variables in some dummy place in mplayer rather than in the vo
modules.
