So they are gonna drop it out of MPlayer too :)
BTW Joe User usually installs libdvd* stuff anyways, just in case.. So we
might actually drop mpdvdkit.

libmpeg2:
BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.825s VO:   1.394s A:   0.000s Sys:   0.329s =    2.548s
ffmpeg12:
BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.999s VO:   1.300s A:   0.000s Sys:   0.378s =    2.677s

libmpeg2 seems to be 5% faster (x86), can be considered marginal, for sake
of simplicity and workability.

Hold the horses ;) While personally I haven't used RAW fonts for about a year,
the libttf-dependancy I think is a very good reason to keep RAW fonts. And on
top of all the shit, only recent libttf works together with MPlayer...
