(of course, it was obvious reverting the earlier fix would break it,
 but some people don't seem to care about the build system as long as
 "their" feature works).
Oh, and don't let version.c twice in CLEANFILES.

(well only for libtool and shared libvlc)

Clean your build tree before whining.

And yes, it breaks the mostly-builtin option (obviously).
It also speeds up automake a tiny bit.

Make update-po

* Put meta related functions in src/input/meta.c
* Merge vlc_meta_engine.h and vlc_meta.h

Album art stuff is still broken, but I need to go now :)

* instances creation/deletion stuff to libvlc-common.c
* implementation of the old libvlc API to libvlc.c

    in the configure script.

* Redo dictionnary handling to remove recursion and bugs

+ some misc test cleanup

* Beginning of core implementation

This simplifies the build system quite a lot, and reduce compilation
times when PIC is actually needed.

If you really mind the extra overhead of PIC, use:
./configure --enable-libtool --enable-static --disable-shared

What is currently broken:
 * Some playlist demuxers (shout, dvb and pls)
 * DAAP
 * BeOS playlist
 * GPE playlist, I suppose

What has some trouble:
 * Meta handling in several demuxers (most notably TS)
 * Skins2 playlist (doesn't refresh correctly)
 * OS X playlist (see bigben's latest commits)

 * Remove changeset thing from shared libvlc versioning until someone cares to implement it properly within the build system

modules/misc/playlist/*, modules/access/http.c: XSPF playlist support
(read and write) by Daniel Stranger. Many thanks

src/misc/modules.c, src/misc/strings.c, include/vlc_strings.h: string
handling functions.

modules/control/http/*, modules/services_discovery/upnp_intel.cpp: use
these string handling functions.
