Hey, we do NOT want the distros pick it up. This is the point.
At least, not until mplayer is finished (>=1.0).

mplayer is not a media player. it's a *movie* player.
it's very bad at playing old lowres low-q etc files. xanim kicks ass here,
we don't plan adding such features.
mplayer is for playback vcd, dvd, svcd, divx avis.

btw it's basicly illegal to play asf and divx etc, so i'm sure it will
never be in distros.

avifile needs binaries. 9 of 10 people can't compile it.
i was also in that 9 until i've upgraded all that auto* and libtool stuff.
