* modules/codec/a52old/*, modules/codec/mpeg_audio/*, modules/codec/mpeg_video/*: got rid of deprecated decoders.

    + First try to detect the OS X native dynamic linker before falling
      back to dlfcn.h.
    + Enhanced the dlopen-style loader detection.
    + Added a check for HP-UX's shl_* functins.
  * src/misc/modules_plugin.h.in:
    + Support for the dylib dynamic loader on OS X.
    + Support for the shl dynamic loader on HP-UX.

* configure.ac: added --with-ffmpeg-faac for when using an ffmpeg which is compiled with faac support.
* modules/stream_out/transcode.c: added mp4a fourcc for MPEG AAC audio transcoding support.

* modules/codec/cinepak.c: ported the cinepak decoder to the new api.

* modules/codec/subsdec.c: cleaned up and ported the text subtitles decoder to the new decoder api.

* install-win32: cosmetic changes.
* configure.ac: forgot one include path for the mozilla plugin.

* configure.ac, mozilla/vlcshell.cpp, mozilla/support/npwin.cpp: mozilla plugin for win32 is finally working (well there's still work left).
* src/misc/modules.c: small clean-up and fixed --plugin-path on win32.

* configure.ac, mozilla/Makefile.am: more win32 mozilla plugin build fixes.

* configure.ac, mozilla/*: the win32 mozilla plugin compiles again (most likely won't yet work).
 Added a --with-mozilla-sdk-path option (win32 only) to ./configure so you can pass the path of your mozilla sdk tree.
 You also need to set the XPIDL env var to the the path of the xpidl mozilla compiler when ./configuring.

* ALL: Introduction of a new api for decoders.
   The final aim of this new api is to make it possible to use the decoders from other modules like the transcoder for instance.
   Only a few decoders have been ported to the new api (a52, libmpeg2, dts, vorbis, theora) so the old api is still supported.

   Don't hold your breath, there is still much work to do before we reach this goal.

* modules/codec/a52.c, libmpeg2., dts.c, vorbis.c, theora.c:
   Converted to the new api.
   Merged the a52 and vorbis packetizers in their respective decoders (removes a lot of code duplication).
   New dts and theora packetizers (merged in their respective decoders).

* configure.ac, modules/access/dshow/: brand new DirectShow input plugin.
   Much work still needs to be done, like audio support, adding plenty of configuration options, etc... But the video part is already working quite well here.

special goom tree source as I was unable to use standard goom library.
(I will provide it once mmx/ppc included)
 * modules/visualization/Modules.am: added goom
 * include/vlc_block.h src/misc/block.c: introduce a new data block
 api (not yet tested, ported from my local new input work).

  in use by the OS. It's pretty nifty. if available it uses nl_langinfo. Then
  it falls back to trying setlocale (exept on OSX, where this funtion is useless)
  and then falls back to LC_ALL, LC_TYPE and LANG environment variables.
  If only the LANG variable is available (like on osx) it tries a countrycode
  to charset mapping (making an educated guess ).
  On windows it retrieves the charset with GetACP().
  It also has an aliases system to transform incompatible charset description
  strings to libiconv compatible charset descriptions. If you want you can even
  retrieve the charset on OS/2.
* modules/codec/subsdec/subsdec.c: By default we try to open a subtitle file in
  the systems charset (or language mapped to charset). It's no more than a guess,
  and if you open Latin1 subs on your Japanese system you will still need to
  specify the encoding by hand, but it's better then nothing.
* src/playlist/playlist.c: spelling error in a comment.

* Decreased the priority of kde interface because of it's unstable nature
  and not being maintained status.

* modules/visualisation/visual/* :
	visualization system. It supports multi-effects.
At the moment:
	-dummy (guess what ? it does nothing)
	-scope (adapted and fixed from sam's one)
	-random (displays random plots)
Todo:
	- spectrum analyser
	- movement effects (rotations, scrolls,...)
	- blur effect ?

src/libvlc.h: replaced "VLS" by "streaming server".

* playlist.cpp : added "Random" and "Loop" checkboxes

src, and build it in the stream_out_standard module to avoid a link

* ALL: bumped version number to 0.6.3-cvs
* modules/control/ntservice.c: new Windows NT/2K/XP service interface.

* include/announce.h & vlc_common.h: slp_session_t structure definition

* module/stream_out/standard.c & src/stream_output/announce.c :
    SLP announcing support by vlc

* ALL: preparing for a 0.6.2 release

The familiar interface is now officially removed from VLC. The interface is superseeded by the PDA interface for handhelds. It uses Gtk+2 and can be built using the configure option '--enable-pda'.

 Makefile.am : cleaned make packages-beos

* ALL: bumped version number to 0.6.2-cvs
* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: closing the video window or using the escape key doesn't exit VLC anymore but stop the input instead.

 * demux/* : function name consistency.

* configure.ac: added the svlc shortcut for the skins.
* install-win32: removed the custom link in the start menu.

* src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed potential segfault.
* configure.ac: don't bail out if matroska headers are not found.

* configure.ac: bumped version number to 0.6.1.
    Enabled matroska support by default.
* extras/MacOSX/*: bumped version number to 0.6.1.
* INSTALL.win32: instructions update.
* share/Makefile.am: included the html files for the http interface.
* po/*: ran ./toolbox --update-po.

  defined symbols and libmp3lame
* Makefile.am: Build po before . because we need the po files to build
  VLC.app
* po/fr.po: French translation courtesy of Jean-Pierre Kuypers
* OS X interface: cosmetics

Gtk2 port of the familiar Linux interface. The name is also changed to PDA so it reflects that it is targeted at handhelds.

The familiar interface itself is deprecreated and will be removed after the next stable version of VLC Media Player.
