Log from Maintainer:

mplayer does not necessarily these config files to work properly.
They are needed however if one wants to set system-wide defaults
different from mplayer's built-in settings.
Therefore,
o these files have more example character and are now
installed in ${PREFIX}/share/mplayer/examples/etc
o this is mentioned in files/pkg-message.in

Also there are further cleanups:
o The port now recognizes the new skin dir accorting to
ports/103891. Please commit these two diffs together
in order to maintain dependency consistency
o pkg-message in the port root dir should be removed from
the tree as we are using files/pkg-message.in for quite
some time now

PR:		ports/103892
Submitted by:	Denis Eremenko <moonshade@pnhz.kz>
Approved by:	Thomas E. Zander <riggs@rrr.de> (maintainer)
