wm4 55b2f0847f manpage: document the dangers of some subtitle options
Setting some subtitle options may lead to incorrect rendering of complex
ASS subtitle scripts, such as displaced signs or visual artifacts. The
user should be made aware that this can happen.

In theory, libass could make using some of these options relatively
safe, but it doesn't.

Note that there are potentially much more options that could in theory
break subtitle rendering, but add a warning only to the most fragile
ones.

README

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.

Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
 - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
 - libGL (OpenGL output)
 - libXv (XVideo output)
general:
 - libasound   (ALSA audio output)
 - various general X development libraries
 - libfreetype (for libass)
 - libfontconfig (for libass)
 - libass
 - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
