I installed a bunch of the development packages before compiling mplayer.  Here
is the output from 'mplayer -vo help'.  Asterisks indicate the options that
produced actual output with video and sound and all that.  The others either
did not work or were not appropriate (like GIF/PNG/etc.).  I think the most
unusual thing is that the xv output did not work, especially since this problem
did not happen until after I upgraded from testing to unstable last week.  Any
thoughts?
