[MPlayer-dev-eng] [RFC] rlimits support

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
this is an unfinished patch to add support for rlimits.
The main point of it would be to limit RLIMIT_DATA to something
"reasonable" like e.g. 512 MB by default, which for most users
would guarantee that MPlayer never causes an unusable system
due to a memleak and excessive swapping caused by that.
This should also make it possible to test in a semi-automated
way that MPlayer can handle out-of-memory conditions where
NULL is returned by malloc. 
It lacks at the very least: configure check, command-line option,
documentation.
