the script seems to not work.
I ran it from a local copy of source/xap/MPlayer directory on my hard
drive after changing USE_PATENTS to YES.
It downloaded the files but the following error occured:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/tmp-MPlayer/MPlayer-r29390/DOCS/xml/
en'
../MPlayer.SlackBuild: line 290: cd: /tmp/build/package-MPlayer/usr/share/
mplayer/skins: No such file or directory
../MPlayer.SlackBuild FAILED at line 290!

I tried to do a work around by adding a line for creating the missing
directory, but then another error occure later, so it seems there's
something missing before.
