Ok, I since Wine lacks evr.h and VLC lack evr.h, but mingw-w64-svn has
some starting point, can I do the following: submit the first patch
with the evr.h from mingw-w64 and gradually add those declarations
which I need in the following patches? I'm fine with this approach. In
the end when the final evr.h is shaped, we can just submit it to mingw
(32 bit) and make it part of it (and remove it from MPlayer).

Do you think this is a good solution?
