good work, thanks.
do you plan to maintain this file?
i don't see placing it to cvs unless someone keeps it up-to-date.

btw, something to fix:
you write in description that it plays vivo, divx and 3ivx.
but it doesn't depend/install win32 codecs, ffmpeg's libavcodec nor xanim
codecs. without them it can play only a very limited range of codecs.

also note, that it shouldn't depend son libdvdcss and libdvdread, they're
optional  (and be sure it's libdvdcss 0.0.3 not 1.0.0 and libdvdread 0.9.x
not 0.8.x)
