[MPlayer-cygwin] compiling x264 with mplayer w/o mingw

[Enzo]

Dear cygwin-mplayers,

I tried to compile x264 and mplayer together under cygwin without
success. I took a look at the archives of this list and I understood
that other had the very same problem: x264 builds with mingw runtime,
which conflicts with a cygwin mplayer:

Now I tried Solution 1 and 2 with no success, while have no idea of how
to go for Soution 3. So I was wondering if you know of any x264
implementation that does not require mingw or if anybody here ever
removed these requirements from the x264 package.

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions and assistance

Cheers,

Enzo
