libmatroska/libebml 0.5.0 are available for download from

http://matroska.free.fr/downloads/libmatroska   and
http://matroska.free.fr/downloads/libebml

as tarballs and should compile fine in various GCC versions, VC6++, 
mingw and cygwin .

If you have problems compiling mplayer with matroska support on cygwin, 
ask mosu, the author of the mplayer playback patch via email : mosu at 
matroska.org, or join irc.corecodec.com , #matroska and talk to him 
directly .
