There is an mplayer-independent version of libass available from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libass. It is produced by applying a certain 
patch to libass/ directory from mplayer sources. The patch redefines 
functions available from other parts of mplayer (blur, utf8 parsing and 
mp_msg) and removes mplayer includes (subreader.h and some more).

This way, keeping mp_msg is ok, but MSGTRs will make my life much harder. I'd 
prefer to leave things as they are now.

LIBSUB is an old name for LIBASS, changing them to [ass] is a good idea.
