[MPlayer-DOCS] printf -> mp_msg conversion (etc.), first patches

[The Wanderer]

Quoting myself as of the 17th:

Okay, close to five days with neither commit nor comment. I don't like
to think of myself as impatient, and I know that people do have other
things to do with their time - but so do I, and I don't want to do the
work if it's just going to get ignored.

The submitted patches include the base on which the rest of the work
would depend; the questions either asked or implied are important in
that if I assume the wrong answer people are likely to get annoyed with
me and regardless the work would be wasted.

If I don't get some kind of comment - at least to the effect of "we're
busy, this is in the attention queue" - by Monday afternoon, I'm going
to assume lack of interest and drop the project again until I hear
otherwise.

(Or is this actually not appropriate for -DOCS? CC'ed to -dev-eng with
that belated thought; if the original post should be re-sent there and
further attempts at discussion moved, just let me know.)
