* configure.ac: added an --enable-utf8 option (default enabled on osx/beos/win32).
* src/libvlc.c, modules/gui/wxwindows/wxwindows.h: use #ifdef ENABLE_UTF8

* ALL: preparation for 0.7.1-test2.

* configure.ac: what about checking for the c++ preprocessor.

Enabled PDA GUI again, use --enable-pda. Question why was it disabled without notifying the maintainer? ????

* configure.ac: check for the xmlTextReader extension if libxml2 (required for skins2).

* configure.ac, NEWS: added mod and pva plugins.

    + Allow to use --enable-livedotcom without --with-livedotcom-tree so that
      we can use an installed version of libliveMedia et al.

    + Only activate the Matroska plugin if -lebml_pic or -lebml were found.

* ALL: I am a morron.

* configure.ac: forgot one version number and added the aiff demux.

* ALL: bumped version number to 0.7.1 in preparation for the release.

Fail ./configure when ffmpeg/avcodec.h or postproc/postproc.h are not found and --disable-ffmpeg is not used.

- Always have a space between ";then" the configure script does not like this. It should be "; then" or better put "then" on the next line.
- Add a AC_ARG_ENABLE for cdda

* modules/video_output/directx/directx.c: fixed the "refresh" button for the --directx-device option.
* modules/demux/dts.c: implemented DEMUX_GET_TIME and DEMUX_GET_LENGTH.
* modules/access/cdda.c: got rid of the cdda demux and add a wav header at the beginning of the data.
   This allows to correctly support DTS audio cd (demux will detect what kind of CD it is).
* modules/demux/wav.c: code cleanup and fixed seeking.

 * define CAN_COMPILE_MMX and CAN_COMPILE_MMXEXT if availabe
modules/video_filter/deinterlace/deinterlace.c:
 * changed how accelerated code is handled.

* configure.ac: fixed typo.

* configure.ac: proper checks for all the skins2 dependancies.

Hope I haven't broken anything...

* configure.ac: don't link with msimg32 directly has it isn't available on Win9x/NT4.
* modules/gui/skins2/win32/win32_graphics.cpp: use AlphaBlend() from the Win32Factory object.

 to give it a try (QT is the default method).
  + Known issues: no fullscreen yet, memory leaks, ugly code, ...
  + Known goodies: it's a few % faster than QT here (playing a DVD). If
      experienced OpenGL and Altivec programmers could have a look and
      give some advice, I guess the performance increase might become
      noticeable.

   yet as Quicktime handles i420 pictures, but it will be when I've
   cleaned the OpenGL output I'm working on (to be commited soon).

* configure.ac: fixed typo.

    + Bail out if libavcodec.a wasn't built with --enable-pp.

now 0.7.20 not 0.7.20-cdio.

* configure.ac: added --with-xml2-config-path=PATH option.

* modules/gui/skins2/src/var_manager.cpp: delete the variables in the
  right order to avoid invalid reads in the destructor
* modules/gui/skins2/parser/xmlparser: skeleton of a new parser based
  on the text reader API of libxml2

     filter more than 100% faster here (blend mode). Feel free to check
     if I haven't broken anything, first time doing Altivec ;)

          GNU/Linux. requires libsysfs (sysfsutils).

* configure.ac, modules/demux/Modules.am: added ps2, ts2 and dvdnav modules to the build system.
* modules/demux/demux2.c: added an "ffmpeg" shortcut for the ffmpeg/libavformat demuxer.

* configure.ac: added --with-caca-config-path.

* New playlist import/export system:
   -export plugin in misc/playlist (contains one module for each file type)
   -open plugin = special demuxer2, that can be opened from the command
    line or the graphical interface.
  NB: the demuxer "playlist" is forced to earn speed, but this does not
  work yet, as we have a demux2

* modules/gui/wxwindows: use the new import/export.

* src/playlist/group.c : fixed boundary check

* src/playlist/item-ext.c: correctly reset stuff when clearing the playlist

* ALL: added vlc_asprintf() to our libc.

* configure.ac: detect if libavformat is present.
* modules/codec/ffmpeg/demux.c: new experimental demuxer using libavformat (most of the work done by fenrir).
   This demuxer should allow us to support "frindge" formats (FLIC, SWF, etc...).
   The demuxer has been put here because of its dependancy on libavformat and libavcodec.
* modules/codec/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: re-arranged the codecs list.

* configure.ac: win32 compilation fixes for the skins2 plugin.
* modules/gui/skins2/Modules.am: renamed the plugin name into skins2 so it doesn't conflict with the old plugin.
* modules/gui/skins2/vars/playlist.cpp: fixed invalid cast.
