OpenGL based video output driver for MPlayer utlizing GPU

Description

Proof of concept OpenGL VO driver for MPlayer that offloads YUV->RGB (I420,YV12) to the GPU.

Compatibility

Should work on ATI's (starting with Radeon 8800, not tested) and NVidia's (starting with GeForce 3 not tested) or anything that supports ARB_fragment_program 1.0.

Worked fine on Radeon9100/9500 and NVidia FX5200/5700.
