Why? Lets WMV8 support will be in mplayer as win32 stuff.
But l3codeca.acm is dead thing for mplayer and soon divxc32.dll
(And I hope that someone will write opensource support for divxa32)
I can't find users which would be glad to use win32 codecs to
lose frames and dream about upgrading their hardware.
(But people are strange creatures so can be everything).

Yes! Great idea!!! Gabucino, where you were before?
IMHO it's best solution to add --disable-win32 in configure, isn't?
(Of course --enable-win32 by default)
So mpg12play can be stopped too.

For inet toys - maybe. But when I purchase a CDROM with DivX-MSMPEG4
movie I have only mp3 stream (at least in my country). So it's no problem for Russia.

Probably I have lacks of english, but I mean to remove only part of win32
codecs for now (which has opensource fastest analogs). So mplayer will support
and this terrible format aka Intel's Indeo Video.
