wm4 c6fbf91a89 manpage: mark HTTP related options as deprecated/broken
Commit c02f25 switched the "http://" protocol to use ffmpeg's HTTP
implementation (stream_lavf.c), instead of the mplayer internal one
(http.c). Unfortunately, it turns out that there are some network
related options that are not respected by stream_lavf.c, and
consequently do not work anymore for "http://" URLs. This might be
fixed later. Mark them as deprecated for now, as it might take
arbitrarily long until this is taken care of.

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.
