 * check documentation for completeness

 * write documentation HOWTO/rules document

 * Make the output windows remember their positions when resizing to
   double size.

 * Ability to resize to full size/double size/triple (or half) size
   upon key presses.

 * real mute support, not just setting volume to 0



Cleanup:

 * integrate dvdnav into mplayer structure

 * integrate libmpdvdkit2 into mplayer structure (message system and
   command line options)

 * remove all obsolete code, options, files etc

 * Restructure configure and fix CPU flags supported but not shown.



Filters:
