Maybe a better idea: How about turning it into a man page? How should
it be called?
man slave doesn't found any slave program on my system, so I think it
could called slave.1. Another possibility would be to call it
mplayer-slave.1 (and maybe bind mplayer-slave to "mplayer -slave". I'm
not sure if what I'm saying is clear, but I'm sure ppl see the point.
