[MPlayer-dev-eng] Tiny patch to make ~/.mplayer overridable

[Nikolai Weibull]

The following patch against CVS allows the user to set the $MPLAYER_HOME
environment variable to point to a directory that mplayer should look
for configuration files in.  I would personally like this, as I like to
keep my ~ clean.  I guess one could also support the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable as defined in
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html, but
that's perhaps too tied to GNOME and KDE.
