[MPlayer-cygwin] elcMovieTools

[Goran Katavic]

Hi ! 

I wrote a shell script frontend for dvd-ripping packed in
package called elcMovieTools. 

While i made this package i noticed this: 

 --
All mplayer versions for MinGW (win32) after version dev-CVS-031013,
downoaded from mplayer's website are not working well.
Mplayer and mencoder chrased on different computers and CPU-s under
different circumstances - it means there was no rule when it will crash.
I thought it was copile-time problem, so i decided to compile
it under MinGW by myself - first try (MinGW current with gcc 3.2.3),
and didn't help - it crashed again.
Second try: upgrade gcc to 3.3.3, gmake to 3.80 and binutils to 2.15.90
Result: mplayer & mencoder (i hope) work again without crashing :)
