| Due to using the private copy of ffmpeg, mplayer itself is much *bigger* than in
| the previous release though.  Ditto mencoder.  To compare the effect, look at
| the sizes of 1.0-0.41.pre8.lvn5 in the FC5 repo and the roughly corresponding
| 1.0-0.42.pre8.lvn6 in the devel repo (the devel one uses external ffmpeg)...
