What is your problem with cygwin1.dll?
I do not like it for the fact, that it is 99% unused and therefore I am
working on a MINGW port.
But things are not that trivial.

1. there is a mingw port of it
2. mplayer isn't multithreaded and therefore the player core shouldn't need
it to work
3. the only files where it is used are
demux_xmms.c
tvi_v4l.c
win32.c
ao_nas.c
=> none of them can be used on windows anyway
