Well for one thing, I hate windows so much that its caused me not to 
become familiar with the inner workings. I have absolutely no clue what 
syntax a .reg or .inf file is or where to put it. I will attach along 
with the file I give them a .txt file explaining any installation steps 
needed and where to place what files. So could you go into a little 
more detail on what to do. (maybe even write a quick reg/inf file for 
me?) I want to leave some files (.wmv, .rm and such), if they have the 
players that play them, associated with their appropriate programs. If 
they don't have the programs for one type, then they should be 
associated to mplayer. I also want to use the current CVS for the 
binary if possible. I know how to compile mplayer CVS just fine already 
on OS X, just need to know how to cross compile.
