Sorry to make you keep changing things, but I think this is rather
important. MPlayer itself also has a liba52 directory, and we wouldn't
want users deleting it thinking it's unnecessary. That last sentence
could probably just be removed to avoid any confusion.

Wouldn't /usr/local/share/mplayer/fonts be better?

Same here?

IIRC, someone said to remember to mention that the GUI is alpha quality code.

Looks good for the most part. Sorry to keep bringing up problems. I
hope we get this new README included soon...sure it'll solve a lot of
RTFM'ing problems and keep new users from getting pissed off as much.
