More than 2 weeks have passed and there is not any progress towards
merging the changes from upstream libdvdcss.

The OS/2 build have been left broken for over 2 months and nobody have
done anything to fix it.

This is why I committed Dave Yeo's patch that was approved by the
current libdvdcss maintainer. Even if that patch is ugly and
suboptimal and even it if it is not in the final release, at least it
fixes the build.

I find it inexcusable to break MPlayer and keep it broken for such
long period. It's not only lack of time... but actively obstructing
other people from fixing it.

Anyway, if somebody wants proper fix, hurry up and merge the latest libdvdcss.
