[MPlayer-cygwin] Getting DVD playback to work..

[Sam Liddicott]

The source is jigerred.

In some places it expects -dvd-device \\.\d
and in some places it wishes it had been given: -dvd-device d:
and then re-writes this internally to \\.\d

Because of this you cannot get it right, as the program gets it wrong 
for you.

I reported this a few months ago; however when I fixed that I still 
could't get it to play encrypted dvd's on my system although 
video-lan-client can.

I'm using an older create labs DVD player.
