[MPlayer-cygwin] compiling mplayer with freetype?

[Gábor Békési]

Hi.

I also have a cygwin build, and it's quite OK (I have built it last 
time, when 0.90 was released).
- You can Build Freetype for yourself it's not a big deal (if You have 
problems with building...
  check what the LinuxFromScratch book says about it). It works well.
- I think the audio support is ok... but You might have problems with 
certain codecs... I could not
   play some trailers and the Animatrix episodes - available for free 
-... the FAAD codec should
   have solved it, but I did not build it on my system.

Sincerely
Bekecs
