The MPlayer documentation is available as a single HTML file at:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/en/MPlayer.html

In that file, you can find "Windows" under "Ports" (you were on the right 
track, I suppose).

There are no specific instructions about Cygwin, except in relation to the 
DirectX 7 headers. Just configure and make as you would in Linux.

You should see the link to the Mplayer-Mingw HOWTO. The document is somewhat 
outdated, but if you use the current versions of the libraries that it 
mentions, the instructions should work.

There is a trick involved in building the MPlayer documentation in Windows. 
I will post as soon as I remember what it is.
