Hm... but at least with --enable-win32 it should still work.

Hmm... why not? I was quite certain I could compile with that as the
only configure option...

But I'd prefer if nobody can accidentially make an mplayer build that
sucks because of some unfinished support. Also disabling MMX etc. seems
to me more like the road to never get it working properly and
considering it good enough just because it compiles.
