Is there a possibility to get the -dumplog option into normal mingw builds.
It can be very helpfull when there are problems while dropping clips on
mplayer.exe.
Then it is
1. Editing mplayer/config                #easy
2. Drop the file onto mplayer.exe    #easy
3. reading log.txt                            #easy
instead of
1. Open command.com / cmd.exe    #easy
2. Change to the placer where mplayer is    #tedious
3. typ mplayer.exe C:\Very\long\and\tedious\path\to\movie.ext > log.txt
#tedious
#command.com can only show few lines, no scrolling back. Therefore > log.txt
4. view log.txt                                #easy
