[MPlayer-users] I've got window-manager related patches - Some Questions

Hi,

what you get if you enter:  cvs update -d

everyone who wanted to contribute could do it already.

btw the recomemnded way use CVS version, make the changes, it can took for
days. when you're ready, do cvs update, fix possible conflicts during merge
and finally do cvs diff -u > patchfile.diff and send it.

???
