*whew* I thought that I was going to horribly offend someone by my 
comment :)

Yeah, I think that any mplayer hacker will see the relative path and 
correctly interpret what it means. New users? I don't know one way or 
the other. I think the important bit is that new users are going to see 
that pretty blue underlined text, click on it and wonder why the RTFM 
message 404's.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know how long /DOCS has been inaccessible 
on mplayerhq.hu? I would assume that it broke with some of the homepage 
upgrades but I haven't really been keeping track...
