<P>This was the second big problem but has been solved as of version
  0.90-pre1. MPlayer previously contained source from the OpenDivX project,
  which disallows binary redistribution. This code has been removed and you are now
  welcome to create binary packages as you see fit.</P>

<P>Another impediment to binary redistribution was compiletime optimizations
  for CPU architecture.  MPlayer now supports runtime CPU detection
  (specify the <CODE>--enable-runtime-cpudetection</CODE> option when
  compiling). It is disabled by default because it implies a small speed
  sacrifice, it is now possible to create binaries that run on different
  members of the Intel CPU family.</P>
