[MPlayer-users] To SDL or not to SDL

Can't find this Googling. I am thinking of removing SDL from my MPlayer 
build for Windows (mostly to reduce size). From what I can find it is 
just a wrapper, that SDL is useful in programs where the author doesn't 
have to do a lot of platform specific coding. Since MPlayer includes 
DirectX, Direct3D, GL & DSound video outputs it isn't really necessary.

Or I could be wrong. I don't see any difference in SDL vs other outputs, 
I personally think if I remove it that it won't be missed. I'd post on 
the SDL mailing list but I think they are more shy .
