+Porting status:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This file should tells you what architectures and or OSes MPlayer/MEncoder
+are currently ported to.
+
+We are always happy about ports to new archs/OSes or improvements to the
+current ones, so if you can help us, read patches.txt and happy hacking! ;-)
+Remember to also send a patch that updates this file if possible!
+
+Of course we are also grateful about hardware/software donations that help
+us to do porting or improvements of ports ourselves. (The MPlayer core
+developers currently mainly own x86 hardware.)
+
+If you would like to donate or have porting questions, feel free to contanct
+the MPlayer developers via the mplayer-dev-eng mailing-list (more info on
+www.mplayerhq.hu).
+
+Here is a list of the architectures/OSes, MPlayer/MEncoder currently run on
+and also some notes or the points that still need to be done or improved:
