I have been linking mplayer/mencoder against libx264 successfully for 
quite a time, and mencoder with x264 was used for encoding x264 with 
MeGUI on win32, before the x264.exe cli was enhanced. So compiling 
should definitely work. Do you use a fresh cvs checkout of the mplayer 
source? Did you remove all old x264.h? Old headers can cause problems.
I will try to compile with my (rather old) cygwin environment now.
