    + Fixed internal symbols for version numbers containing "+".
    + Added a --enable-caca flag.
  * modules/video_output/caca.c:
    + Updated libcaca video output to the released version.
    + Added --caca-dithering flag (none, dither, random).

* mozilla/vlcshell.cpp, modules/video_output/directx/*: round of fixes for the win32 mozilla plugin.

* modules/video_output/directx/*: we now create a video sub-window which is a child of the main window and which always fit exactly the size of the video.
  As a result the overlay color key is only painted in the video area and the rest of the window is pure black.

* modules/control/hotkeys.c: use demux_Control( p_input, DEMUX_SET_TIME, ...) to seek, for better precision.
* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: fix to catch the Alt key.

* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: fixed key modifiers detection.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: removed the sorted flag from a couple of comboboxes.

* ALL: improved hotkeys support.

* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: hotkeys handling cleanup and support for ctrl/alt/shift modifiers.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/preferences_widgets.cpp: correctly select the active hotkey (needed on win32).

* modules/misc/freetype.c: fixed default font on win32.

 * report F1 to F12 keys

* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: compilation fix.

 * created a variable "key-pressed" in p_vlc that can be used to
   report or read key presses
 * allways try to start hotkeys interface in the background
configure.ac, modules/control/Modules.am, modules/control/hotkeys.c:
 * a new control module that reads keypresses from "key-pressed" and
   performs an action depending on what is asosiated with this key.
   Also uses nice on screen messages to indicate what action was performed
modules/video_filter/filter_common.h:
 * removed code to pass old style key reporting through filters
modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c:
 * report key-presses through the new mechanism. Incomplete, I need help
   with this.

    + Removed u8, s8, u16 etc. for good.
  * ALL:
    + Replaced all occurrences of u8, s8, u16 etc. with uint8_t, int8_t, etc.

    errors due to the recent API change in vout_AllocatePicture.

* configure.ac: fix for wxWindows headers detection.
* all: changed the prototype of vout_AllocatePicture() and vout_InitPicture().
* src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: new vout_InitFormat() function that initialises a video_frame_format_t structure.
* include/vlc_video.h: extended video_frame_format_t.
* modules/codec/rawvideo.c: ported to the new decoder api.
* modules/video_output/x11/*: simplifications.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/preferences.cpp: fixes some alignment issues in the config options panel.
* modules/gui/skins/src/*: use (AOUT_VOLUME_DEFAULT * 2) as max volume.
* modules/video_output/directx/*: use inheritance for the direct-always-on-top object var.
   Added Ctrl+left/right arrows as shortcuts for seeking in 1 min chunks.
* modules/mux/mp4.c: fixed the audio/video sync.

* modules/demux/util/sub.c: fix when no subs specified.
* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: fixed invalid chroma.
* modules/codec/a52.c, modules/codec/libmpeg2.c: small cleanup.

* modules/video_output/directx/*: some graphics card allow the creation of several overlay surfaces but can only display one at a time.

 The mozilla plugin seems to be working very well now, except that it doesn't receive mouse and keyboard events yet.

    deleted file encoder.c

* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: fixed YUY2 overlay.

* src/video_output/*, src/libvlc.h, include/video_output.h: added an --align option to allow modifying the alignment of a video inside its window (very useful for the wall filter).
* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: small cosmetic change.
* modules/access/v4l/v4l.c: clean-up (removed old references to encoders).

  and not being maintained status.

* modules/codec/ffmpeg/video.c: forgot a debug message.

* src/misc/configuration.c, include/configuration.h, src/audio_output/intf.c, include/audio_output.h, modules/gui/gtk/display.[ch]: configuration variables now use vlc_callback_t callbacks (same as the object variables).
* modules/video_output/x11/*: support for the _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN hint from the Extended Window Manager Hints spec.
* modules/audio_output/alsa.c: support for 4.0 and 5.1 audio channels. This time it has been tested ;)

* 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.

* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: compilation fix.

* modules/gui/macosx/controls.m: fixed race condition in prev/next commands.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/wxwindows.cpp: raised the priority of the wxwin interface so it is now the default.
    We also lower the priority if there is no DISPLAY env variable.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/interface.cpp: prev/next buttons are also used to navigate through titles.
* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: use arrow keys for DVD navigation.
* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: page up/down now seek -10/10 secs.

    event handling bug.

* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: closing the video window doesn't doesn't exit vlc anymore, it just stops the current stream.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: fix for popup menu placement.

    instead of the base window, because newer versions of Mozilla select
    ButtonPress for the window it gives us, and XSelectInput only allows
    one client to select this event.

    + New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
      in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
    + Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
      a lot less hungry now.
    + Ditto for Solaris's sed.
    + Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
  * m4/vlc.m4:
    + New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
      and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
      modules and register their flags.
    + New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
    + Some magic to generate vlc-config.
  * configure.ac:
    + Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
    + Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
  * modules/**/Modules.am:
    + Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.

       (when the last vout is closed, the interface reappears)
       Works only with the skins interface and X11/Xvideo vouts, but it's
       very easy to implement (just add a callback on "intf-show" in the
       interface, and trigger it in the vout)

    well as .lo/.la files.
