This is wrong.  SDL redirects stdout/stderr, it's part of the
library.  If you configure the library with the
--disable-stdio-redirect option then this behavior is disabled.
gcc -mwindows has nothing to do with this, but -mwindows should
be removed anyway.  The -mno-cygwin and -mwindows flags are
there because SDL assumes that on a win32 platform, all your
SDL apps will be designed for a mingw style environment.
(hence no-cygwin)  I'm trying to organize my mplayer compiling
into some kind of definitive standard under cygwin, so that I
can make a detailed doc including everything to be done for
mplayer, SDL, ggi, and various other things I'd recommend.

Speaking of ggi, has anyone here managed to get mplayer -vo ggi to
run under cygwin?  I get ggi library giving me dlopen complaints
at runtime, followed by mplayer giving up on vo_init.
