if you do it, do it well...

instead of vf_dl.c, implement it in vf.c, with #ifdef MPCODECS_DLOPEN or so,
so users compiling mplayer with --enable-dynamic-mpcodecs or so, will get
the filters, codecs compiled to .so files, instelled to mplayer's directory,
and dlopened by libmpcodecs core (vf.c, dec*.c)

it's on my TODO but you can help with it and get it into cvs.

anyway it requires a big change to get it work for the codecs:
changing the vfm/afm options.
now the codecs.conf parser translates driver names to driver IDs (afm/vfm
numbers) and the mpcodecs core finds the required codec by id.
actually the codecs.conf parser shouldn't translate the name, and mpcodecs
core should load codec by name, ie vd_<drivername>.so ...

nick already did it in mpxp.

anyway i don't think it should happen before the 0.90 release
