Please note that this is fixed since several months (actually I think since 
very shortly after this became an issue) in MPlayer svn.
So you could update, backport the patch (well, unfortunately several since the 
first few tries were broken) or make the versioning script change as a 
temporary workaround you would _not_ have to carry around forever.
