Port to Wine. This makes MPlayer and the GUI compile and run as a Wine executable, which is mainly to allow Windows code checking in a Linux environment. In Makefile: Generalize the windres call by specifying option "-o" for the output file. In gui/win32/interface.c: Use the same function to create a thread as Cygwin, and convert Windows style file names so that they are accessible in the Linux environment. In osdep/priority.c: Include windows.h. In configure: Add system "Wine" which shall be considered (mostly) a win32 system. Since winegcc by default compiles all files with the "-fpic" flag, remove it, and remove all MinGW compatibility WIN32 defines, because we're not compiling for real Windows. Define to not use Windows sockets (Wine uses different ones) and replace Windows' stricmp by strcasecmp. Ensure that yasm's object format isn't win32 and that HAVE_LINUX_DVD_STRUCT will be defined. In stream/tvi_dshow.c: Define MP_DEFINE_LOCAL_GUID, because Wine's DEFINE_GUID macro isn't compatible using "static" with it. In loader/com.h: Rename the IIDs to become local ones, because Wine's unknwn.h not only declares but defines them. In mplayer.c: Don't define a SIGSEGV signal handler, or the Wine executable will crash.

## Reading the MPlayer Documentation ##
#######################################

Thanks for reading MPlayer documentation !!!


1. For "release" version users (i.e. non-Subversion):

   a, Enter the HTML/ directory, and there you'll find the documentation,
      each language in its own subdirectory.

   b, If you prefer reading the documentation as a single big file it
      can be found in the file MPlayer.html, each language in its
      own subdirectory.

   c, If the HTML/ directory does not contain your language,
      try the subdirectories in this very same folder.


2. For "development" version users (i.e. Subversion or Subversion snapshots):

   a, Enter the xml/ directory, and read the README file there to find
      out how to build a HTML version of the XML documentation. It will
      be created in the HTML/ directory.

   b, If the xml/ directory doesn't contain your language, try the
      subdirectories in this very same folder.
