[MPlayer-dev-eng] script to include in mplayer TOOLS

[D Richard Felker III]

Hey people, here's a quick script to run mplayer on the console
without all the text, flashing cursor, etc getting in the way of the
movie -- and it also detects and sets mplayer's screenw and screenh
options automatically using fbset to get the screen dimensions. If you
think users might find this helpful, feel free to include it in the
TOOLS directory with mplayer. And if the -vo mga being there is bad,
just remove it.
