[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Mac OS X Finder support

This patch allows mplayer to be launched from the finder, to be used as 
default application for a filetype and to be used as a drop target if 
placed on the dock. The compiled mplayer binary must be either packaged 
in an appwrapper directory, with an appropriate Info.plist describing 
the supported filetypes or a suitable resource fork must be grafted to 
the binary -- both methods, as a side effect, will remove the need for 
the "foreground operation" workaround in vo_quartz.c in function 
preinit. The first way is the one currently recomended by apple, 
whereas the second is somewhat "cleaner" in the current building 
environment. At the moment the patch does NEITHER.
