[MPlayer-dev-eng] DeCSS legacy

This specific DeCSS is not being used anywhere..

Libdvdcss, libdvdread etc uses something with the same role, but different 
code.

Fact is, that even if you took the DeCSS code and tried to decode with it an 
encoded video on 1Ghz Pentium - you'll see lots of missing frames.

So, as long as mplayer doesn't have the DeCSS code inside the CVS, I think 
the mplayer project is safe.
