[MPlayer-dev-eng] mplayer's main function currently sucks

Should be pretty straightforward. Last time I looked at mplayer's main()
function, once I'd stopped laughing, I worked out a plan for tidying it up.
Basically, you've got a bunch of initialisations that need to be done, and you
need to do them in the right order. So you split the source into modules, and
each module has an initialisation function and a list of dependancies (of the
other modules that must be initialised first). Then you construct a dependancy
tree and walk it, initialising each module before the ones that depend on it.
If you wanted to be l33t you could do it at compile time using make, but it'd
be perfectly fast enough to do at runtime.
