[MPlayer-cygwin] Distributable binaries for windows

I need a version of mplayer/mencoder compiled with --enable-largefiles
-- I'm using mencoder to transcode mpeg2 (.ty) streams from a series 1
TiVo.... these files frequently reach sizes greater than 2Gb.

Is there a distributed package with --enable-largefiles set?  If so,
could someone point me in the direction of it...

If not, is there a howto or and documentation (or advice) anyone could
give me about how to compile a distributable package for Windows? (I
looked at http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/binary-packaging.txt
<http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/binary-packaging.txt> , but
it seems to be giving advice specific to Unix based OS's.)

As a small aside, does anyone know why --enable-largefiles is not set
by default?

Any help or advice much appreciated,
Ash.
