doing an svn diff the only difference is a tweak to the man page I 
posted a while ago but has not got committed.

~/SVN/svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer$ svn diff
Index: DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1
===================================================================
--- DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1       (revision 26674)
+++ DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1       (working copy)

Honestly, I do a svn up, make distclean then ./configure --enable-menu 
and I get the above.

This is the section from configure.log

============ Checking for x264 ============

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <x264.h>
#if X264_BUILD < 53
#error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from SVN.
#endif
int main(void) { x264_encoder_open((void*)0); return 0; }

cc -Wall -Wno-switch -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -O4 -march=native 
-mtune=native -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer         -lfaac -o 
/tmp/mplayer-conf--29898 /tmp/mplayer-conf--29898.c -lx264 -lpthread


Result is: yes (in libavcodec: no)

x264 was configured with `./configure --enable-pthread --enable-shared` 
- which seemed fairly logical to me and was made and then installed.
