[MPlayer-cygwin] official win32 package?

[Sylvain Petreolle]

I tried it months ago but it didn't compile... (will give it a newer
try)
particularily if you think that we try to emulate dlls loading.
the loader code shouldn't be compiled even if we want to use dll calls.
the mingw code that is used to compile permits then to distribute a
.exe thats doesnt needs cygwin1.dll anymore and recognize only windows
paths.

what -vo's can be used, since windows isnt a X11 application ? is there
a directx vo other than SDL ?

regarding the POSIX calls question, cygwin gives a strict POSIX
emulation layer.
