    1 Regarding the overlay suggestion, my goal here is to EMPOWER users. You as a user are NOT constrained to use the build the maintainer has set up. If you want a gobbledygook audio codec enabled, then dammit you can have it. The USER is in charge. Five minutes to set up their overly, five minutes to copy in the port they want to modify, and they can have any darned option enabled they want to!
     1Regarding the overlay suggestion, my goal here was to empower users to have the versions of ports they might want.

    3 The USER is king in my world!

    5 But on the other hand, the world need not have to live with +gobbledygook as a variant to deal with forever after that on all the systems MacPorts tries to support, for one user who wants it.  That would be unrealistic to force on everyone, and certainly the lack of a +gobbledygook variant should NEVER be considered as a deficiency or defect in the Portfile.

    7 Back to DVD reading support, it looks like it doesn't have a lot of deps, and might be straightforward to enable broadly in the default set of enabled options. There are already many other DVD reading applications available for these systems -- every system that came with a DVD drive has one as part of the system software -- and for the newer systems, you would want to use VLC anyway, but still, it could be added to the default MPlayer build without too much difficultly I believe.
     3But some might see that as too complex, certainly.
