[MPlayer-dev-eng] .developer cruft

hey,

i've been trying to clean up old/broken/etc. cruft in mplayer code an
i realized the hated build system where everything gets rebuilt unless
you touch .developer is still in place. as much as coreteam liked
forcing users to perform such favors on them, i think it's time we
remove the need for users to 'touch .developer' in order to have sane
build dependencies.

does anyone reject to:

- removing support for .developer
- fixing dependencies so that version.h is handled correctly.
- moving the old .libdeps hack i added out of etc and making it part
  of the default makefile for automatic subdir dependency handling.
- removing the dependency on configure that forces rebuild whenever
  configure has changed (it's wrong anyway since configure needs to be
  rerun first).

??
