Hmmm, it's easily possible, in dox you can find the way not to link statically
against libmpdvdkit, so you can place it into a separated package though
in this way user MUST install that package to, since there's no dlopen()
for libmpdvdkit, like my accepted patch which makes libcss.so runtime linking
with libdl ... [though it's a bit slower in this way, imho ... but only
some function pointers ...] If you really care we should provide generic
libdl layer in mplayer to allow to load almost anything runtime with libdl,
so you needn't link against several libraries: mplayer will use them on
demand. Of course the rule of speed "static link > dynamic link > dlopen runtime"
will be true for this situation as well ...
