Not possible. CMPlayer is 'linked' against mpv which means what I need
is a library of mpv not an executable and there's no such library
indeed.
That's why CMPlayer need whole copy of mpv sources and binaries.
Moreover, some patches cannot just applied to original mpv because
they are specialized for CMPlayer.
Since I have not contributed to mpv so much, I'm saying CMPlayer is a
front-end of mpv with respect for mpv guys, but technically, you'd
better think CMPlayer is a fork of mpv.
