[MPlayer-dev-eng] mplayer on intel macs

[Jamie Kirkpatrick]

Hi there.

I was trying to get this to compile earlier today but I too ran into  
the same issues.  Until I can get a better solution together would  
the writer of thi patch mind making it availible on an ftp or  
somesuch?  It would be handy as a stopgap though I understand its not  
a final solution.
