Gaaaah! It's not that simple. There are some patches I still need to push
here and there are some RH/FC-specific patches that I wouldn't like to
keep in MPlayer's CVS because I don't think they belong there. And keeping
a .spec file without them would mean double work for me. I'm not sure
how to handle this yet.
