	It's possible that "controversial" has to do with the fact that
MPlayer has garnered a reputation as being run by a bunch of jerks (not
saying this is true, but that's the reputation). Plus, there have been the
tiffs with Red Hat over gcc, and multiple groups regarding binary
packaging.

	I'm not saying that I care about any of the controversy...I just
sit back and code up as many decoders as possible...
