I know you guys all wanted to help, but this stuff was too far away
from the typical MPlayer related code. Actually I never had any
problem from the MPlayer side. All my troubles were Microsoft APIs
related, so you couldn't do much about it.

Yes, but my headers are NOT clean room implementation. I looked at
Microsoft headers, stripped them from unnecessary stuff, changed some
macros and adapted the thing to suit my work. Sorry, I just didn't
have another way. In case this all worked, I would have contacted you
to merge everything back in mingw-w64 in a clean way.

Of course, you are free to download my headers from the git tree and
merge back everything back into mingw-w64. I could assist you somehow,
but this would have to happen at least after a month (I'm busy with
some exams).

I have explained most of my progress and problems in the project Wiki.
This Wiki was an effort to attract more developers to help me and I
started several threads here and there, but no one showed any
interest, my semester ended and I started working full day job again
(so no free time).

Of course in the future I could return to this project, you never know :)
