Announce SMP support for Win32. Don't hardcode dwNumberOfProcessors=1 for Win32 anymore; the mutex/event code is still far from perfect, but now good enough that I can't find any codecs that breaks with this (tested on a quad with various codecs). This tells codecs they can use more than one core if they want to (some already did, by launching multiple threads even when told there was only a single core).

MPlayer Windows GUI (c)
2003 Sascha Sommer - <[e-mail]>
2006 Erik Augustson - <[e-mail]>
2006 Gianluigi Tiesi - <[e-mail]>

This beta GUI for Windows was originally written by Sascha Sommer and
has since been heavily modified by myself (Erik Augustson) and Gianluigi
Tiesi. It follows the same concept as the Linux GUI, and should be able
to load all (or at least most) of the current skins available for the
Linux GUI.

To compile, quite simply pass --enable-gui to configure, and it is highly
recommended to also pass --enable-static="-mwindows" to link mplayer as
a Windows binary. NOTE: This will also link mencoder with -mwindows
and thus link mencoder as a Windows binary as well.

To enable use of the GUI, mplayer.exe must be renamed / copied to
gmplayer.exe.
