Ivan Kalvachev recently committed some patches to make mplayer support
xvid api4. You need to download the latest CVS of mplayer, and the
latest cvs of libavcodec (even if you really don't want to use
libavcodec for encoding, you still want it for decoding).

Also, the --with-xvidcore option has been removed in favor of 
--with-xvidlibdir and --xvidincdir.

If ./configure still doesn't seem to find your xvid libs, take a look
in configure.log. Search for "xvid.h" and read the corresponding
section. If it doesn't make any sense to you, gzip/bzip2 the whole log
and send it to the list.
