I tried to compile a GUI version of mplayer for Windows after a long 
hiatus. I ran into 2 problems.

I found a compilation error in libvo/gl* because XVisualInfo was not 
defined.  Attached is a patch to fix it.

I also had a problem with ffmpeg/libavformat/udp.c.  I found a report on 
the ffmpeg mailing and a solution.  _WIN32_WINNT has to be at least 
0600.  Windows XP is not supported by ffmpeg. I added a definition to my 
config script in "extra-cflags".  Maybe the configure script should be 
enhanced.

With these two changes I successfully compiled mplayer on Windows.
