Just add something like:

{"version", "Version: "VERSION"\n", CONF_TYPE_PRINT, 0, 0, 0 NULL},

to mplayer_opts[] in cfg-mplayer.h. And for --version, add the same with 
"-version".

But anyway, I don't see why this is needed though. If any{body,script} needs 
to know the version, just run mplayer as it is and it's right there in the 
output.
