[MPlayer-cygwin] Re: compile the libs on mingw

[Wen-King Su]

I have gone through the whole thing except for libregif, which I still
can't get.  I have noted some changes needed in the instructions below.
I did produce an working binary.  Thanks.

  mkdir c:/mingw/man/man1

  ** Default mingw/msys install does not produce the man1 directory.

  ./configure --prefix=z:/msys/1.0 --disable-decoder

  ** shared is disabled by default, and enabled by --enable-shared.
