>Description:

The current default configuration for multimedia/mplayer (1.x version of
mplayer) fails to enable the FriBiDi option by default.

I feel that this is a mistake, becuse the current smplayer port apparently
requires the presence of a mplayer which has been built with FriBiDi
support enabled.  Thus, a default build & install of smplayer will fail
to run, because building & installing smplayer will caused mplayer (1.x)
to be built and installed *without* the required FriBiDi option.  The
results will be an installed version of smplayer that simply doesn't
work.

>How-To-Repeat:

portinstall multimedia/smplayer

(then run smplayer)

>Fix:

See above.
