SMPlayer Clock Overlay Patch (Unreleased)

This is a patch I have been working on for myself.. No more do I have to leave fullscreen mode to see the current time!

I could of course have bought a watch.. but this is cheaper.

And yes, I know that Compiz allows composited clocks on top of anything too :) But this patch really merges the clock into the video.

Technical details:
* mplayer is patched with vf_overlay
* QPainter paints the clock and text
* the painted clock is retranslated to the needed format and written in a shared memory block
* mplayer (vf_overlay) reads the memory and updates the overlaying image
