Summary: NSIS descends into wrong, similarly named directories

Initial Comment:
There are two folders in the project that are named the same. 'docs' smplayer-build\docs is added recursively. smplayer-build\mplayer is only added recursively if WITH_MPLAYER is defined, and also contains a directory called 'docs' pertaining to MPlayer. 

'File /r "smplayer-build\docs"' is also including "smplayer-build\mplayer\docs" even though the MPlayer directory is not being included by not defining WITH_MPLAYER. So no MPlayer files should be included. The build output shows it descending into smplayer-build\mplayer\docs right after smplayer-build\docs.

I've attached:
- Script w/ custom English strings (but no binaries needed to compile)
- Build log
- Directory tree

Message:
This is normal by-design behaviour, and it is documented in the detailed
"Note" about the File command in NSIS help file.
As documented, what you should do is: File /r "smplayer-build\docs\*.*"
