The Makefile for player_macosx misses some dependencies that are bothering.

The plugins and libraries are copied into the .app bundle, but that copy step doesn't depend on the source dylibs (i.e. where those things are built) having changed. The effect of this is that if you change the source of a plugin, that plugin will get rebuilt, but the resulting dylib not copied afresh into the app bundle.

The effect of this is that you manually have to do "make clean" in player_macosx, and that you have to remember this. Adding the right dependencies would help.

IIRC there are similar missing dependencies in other places where things are combined, such as for the browser plugins and such.
