[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] YUV support for vo_quartz, at last

Its vo_quartz and I will not change it. Maybe now we can talk about 
something useful,
like improving it.

vo_quartz is not the default vo driver on osx, maybe we can change that 
or
at least make it the default if sdl is not there because right now its 
falling
back to vo_null. Also if you disable sdl support in mplayer vo_quartz
is not working properly. SDLMain override mplayer main() and start has
a cocoa app, Im in the dark here any idea anyone?
