To clarify, there are two READMEs involved:
 * x11/mplayer/pkg/README       - user docs. make it into the package.
 * x11/mplayer/README           - notes for me and others working on the port.

This is the way I did print/texlive2010 too.

I can change this if you like, perhaps the comments for developers should all
be in comments in the Makefile? However, I don't think it is that important.

Perhaps we should introduce the convention of using the name README.porters?
