Move all user tunable options in mplayer.options in the beggining of the file.
Make an option "distribution" or something like that, that adds
--enable-runtime-cpu-detection to configure option.


Don't build kernel modules or create /dev/nodes. It is not expected by
application package.
Please make them as separate (optional) package. Name the package
according to the kernel version.
For package builders - don't forget that now slackware ships with 2
stock kernels.

Who owns mda/radeon_vid nodes ? only root?

depmod is automatically executed by installpkg, no need to add it in
the script. (thus i am not sure for older slackware versions).

You'd better send patch for DISTDIR support instead patching it in
your script. ( in drivers/ radeon... )

Happy hacking
