Hmm, let's split this into two parts maybe.  First move all the
messages to help_mp-en.h unmodified and then let's review and correct
them on the mplayer-docs mailing list.  This way we can avoid
cluttering this mailing list.

Patch applied.

Most of the console messages could use a review for typos, wording and
ease of understanding.  There is no holy grail here, mostly everything
can be changed.
