It's not a violation of the mailing-list rules to post it, but none of
the developers are going to look at it if they have to get it from a
site like rapidshare. If you want it to be publicly accessible, put it
somewhere where it can be downloaded via a direct URL (e.g. with a
command line like 'wget http://server.domain.tld/path/to/filename'); if
you want the developers to look at it, upload it to
'upload.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming' via FTP.
