Please don't mirror it anywhere, it's just an improvisation made for having -vo svga available in my 2010 Mplayer builds. It has support for nothing else but video (no mouse, joystick or keyboard), and its very few and obsolete partly-accelerated drivers don't work well with newer LCD monitors, so it is almost useless as library. But I provided it to david because it is a better alternative for his links port comparing to the ancient djgpp version he used.
Re: wss, I don't know, it is taken from VsyncMAME (I can see no licence in its packages), but a lot if it draws from Allegro.
Re: your advice, thanks, but you get what I have. If you are not satisfied, do it yourself or leave it as it is.
