I am currently working on something like this because I re-used parts of the 
mplayer configure for other projects and got tired of fixing or changing 
things in several places (all configure scripts of all "projects"). The 
basic framework and most essential tests (cpu, architecture, os, compiler, 
libraries, header files, et cetera) are done. I am currently in the process 
of adapting it to mplayer. I am a little ill at the moment, but I hope to 
present it in say one to two weeks. BTW it also involves a single Makefile 
for the whole project with sane deps etc.. like make in the rootdir will 
rebuild libvo if one of the vo's has changed and relink mplayer.
