I could automatically detect libdvdread by commenting out the #if $dl_
.../#fi in the mplayer configure check.  That #if is not needed.  I compiled
libdvdread with the --with-libdvdcss option, which does a direct link to
libdvdcss, so there is no dynamic linking required.

It also seems that using libdvdnav should require libdvdread.  If libdvdnav
is there, but not libdvdread, stream_dvd_common.c does not get compiled, and
there are link problems.
