[MPlayer-users] make uninstall

Right. 
I've had a quick look at the Makefile and including an uninstall target
should be really easy to add.

So I've planned to do this today and submit a patch. So if I do it
properly it will be included in the next release. 
Kepp your fingers crossed, it's my first contribution to a open source
project... :-)
