Uhm... have you seen that little "if" up there?
It means, if and only if there are still systems around
that do not declare XShmGetEventBase in the header file,
then, and only then there should be a configure check.
And as MIT-SHM is old (as in very old), i doubt that any
such system exists.

I just checked the appropriate documentation, and 
MIT-SHM is in X since at least X11R5 (which means 1994!),
the document is even dated 1991! This means it's nearly 10 years
older than MPlayer. So, i really doubt that there is any
sytem around that would still need that declaration hack at all.
