[MPlayer-cygwin] MultiByteToWideChar et al.

[Reimar Döffinger]

Should be fixed, but using a cygwin compiled MPlayer really should be
just giving you a less supported platform and slower performance with
no benefit in exchange.
A MPlayer compiled as a native Windows binary should generally work better I think.
Doesn’t stop you to use a cygwin shell to run it.

I found a mplayer.exe binary of version 1.4 for 64bit Windows which in turn works with the abovementioned opus streams. So I thought I build 1.4 under cygwin, but got the problems mentioned in the subject line.
