[MPlayer-dev-eng] Should we get rid of -dvd, -vcd, etc ?

agree, they could be removed in 'main' tree
te old -vcd etc options should print an error message containing the new
option (sth. like: '-vcd N is deprecated, use vcd://N instead')

why?
-cuefile is just an option like -cdrom-device or -tv
i can't see why should we change them.
