	This is the *biggest* mistake a developer can do and the reason
why MPlayer cannot be considered the "top" player as it used to be
before. MPlayer is stalled and that's sad.

	Let's keep changing forever "configure" or "windef.h" files
or even doing cosmetic changes because that's *way* more important than
implement really useful features that would really matters to a LOT of
users...

	While developers keep on doing "mental masturbation" on
configure script and doing a lot of really small and irrelevant changes
here and there, the world keeps turning.

	Developers have no clue at all on what really matters and what
really add value to a software. In the end, we have lots of programmers
who decide to code here and there at a random fashion without any
rational direction. There's no roadmap, no planning, no leadership, no
focus, no nothing.

	So in the end we have a player who can play whatever format you
put in, but has serious flaws on the most basic function like dvdnav or
even basic already decrypted blu-ray support (what is really
important to the regular user). 

	Well, was this thread about blu-ray? It seems I cannot even
write my oppinion on this issue. And the "blu-ray" threads will repeat
over and over until someone decides to do the right thing (and this
thread wasn't even started by me... others will start the same thread
over and over again...).

	Or Mplayer developers decide to put a serious effort on this or
this will keep appearing again and again. Or put a end on it and declare
blu-ray will never be supported by MPlayer... at least nobody will
expect it and everybody can be happy again.
