I am currently trying to re-do this file so it is more user-friendly, as when I originally wrote it I was going towards a more techie oriented feel.

There is no such file in CVS.  Are you certain it's been committed?
Also, could you send your latest draft to this list?

That has always annoyed me.  Can someone explain to me why there's not
yet a native windows code to load DLLs for mplayer?  Is anyone currently
working on this?  If it's not already on the latest round of the
wishlist on mplayer-dev-eng, I'll send that in.
