If you have 60 different versions of MPlayer from the CVS archive, then 
you try number 30. If it works, try number 45, if not try number 15. 
etc...  It is like finding a person in the phonebook, start in the 
middle and go back or forth depending what page you got. You don't look 
on pages 1,2,3,4,5,... looking for Mr Smith, do you?
