I don't remember noticing when this happened, and I do quite clearly
remember repeated statements on -users that we do not support it because
it is a separate project. There's nothing wrong with supporting it, but
I would have been less likely to make a fool of myself if the fact had
been made clear somehow... though I suppose it doesn't make much
difference one way or the other now.

(Having it in a list on the Website is not sufficient for the purpose; I
don't go to the Website more than about three times in a blue moon, and
even then I rarely go past the front page and don't read closely except
for the parts I'm specifically after, because 99.9999% of what I care
about in terms of MPlayer can be gotten directly and more conveniently
from either SVN or the mailing lists. I'd be surprised to learn I was
alone in this.)
