1. The docs say to install it into /usr/lib/win32. It wont work
until you install it into c:\windows\system or system32 directory, said
by yourself.

2. Its better to use registered dlls, which can be safely removed by
the uninstaller.
In case of MPlayer uninstall, be sure that more of 50% of the users
will forget the dlls into system directory.

3. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/qt-howto.txt
doesnt reflect the reality.
NOTE: qt6-dlls.tar.bz2 from releases/ doesn't contains qtmlClient.dll!
is false.
