With most source distributions I can execute the configure script from a
seperate directory and it creates all build files into that, leaving the
original source dir untouched, e.g.:

netchan at gyogyi ~/prog/python
$ ls
Python-2.3  python_build

netchan at gyogyi ~/prog/python
$ cd python_build/

netchan at gyogyi ~/prog/python/python_build
$ ../Python-2.3/configure
checking MACHDEP... cygwin
checking EXTRAPLATDIR...
[...]
creating Setup
creating Setup.local
creating Makefile

netchan at gyogyi ~/prog/python/python_build
$ make
gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I
. -I../Python-2.3/Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Parser/acceler.o ../Python
-2.3/Parser/acceler.c
[...]
and so on.

It's not particulary important, just I was wondering if mplayer supports
it.
