The mplayer folks consider use of libdvdcss to be obsolete. The latest
tarball, which includes a patched libdvdcss, should probably build and
run out of the box on NetBSD 2.0 BETA.  The only patch you really need
is "patch-aa", or else set LDFLAGS to "-R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib"
in the environment before running configure. If you want to play DivX(R)
files, too, you only have to tell configure where the codecs are, via
"--with-win32libdir", or "--with-codecsdir".
