Nothing like that at all! But, what would YOU do if I request to repaint
YOUR car (which is painted 'funny' at least according you) just because I
don't like its color when _I_ was driving it after I borrowed it from you? 
MPlayer is copyrighted (yes, GPL, but copyrighted by its authors) material,
so it belongs to someone(s). And yes they're working hard to make better and
better player and FREE usage for you. Are you sure enough that you're right
then?

Write a script to do that :) Create a diff file and you can patch it at once
etc ...
