I'm sorry that I haven't looked at your patch more closely before. I was
just to apply your patch, but this approach is not acceptable for
neither upstream nor the debian package.

I've therefore invested some time to add pkg-config support
properly, commit it to svn trunk, backported to the mplayer package, got
flamed upstream for making pkg-config mandatory (breaks cygwin builds)
and eventually fixed that as well.

Anyway, this should be fixed now in debian as well.
