Get this into MinGW instead:
http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/file64_mingw.diff
(google cache because the main site is down:
http://72.14.221.104/search?q=cache:eGs6qurB5q4J:oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/file64_mingw.diff+file64_mingw.diff&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&ie=UTF-8
)

This reminds me, http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php seems to be
quite popular but seems down due to bandwidth problems.
Does anything speak against offering to host the files on mphq, too?
The official windows build is usually a bit outdated and might have a
few usability problems after all (like above patch intentionally not used).
