[MPlayer-dev-eng] XviD support is done

[Vladimir Kushnir]

Hi, I can second you wrt encoding on FreeBSD. I had even simpler solution,
though - just "ln -s libxvidcore.so libdivxencore.so" and the same with
decore :-)

Unfortunately for some reason XviD doesn't playback at all - no image
under FreeBSD. Decoder works, I tested it with "mencoder -vc divx4", but...
Would anybody more knowlegable than me look at it?
