indicate wether it is an "advanced" option or not. The goal with this is to
hide the user from all the strange options that very seldom needs to be
changed. added an extra argument to all the add_* macros to indicate wether
the item is advanced or not.
* src/libvlc.h: added an "show advanced options" config option default
disabled
* src/libvlc.c: the advanced options are not listed by vlc --help and
friends unless --advanced is used
* modules/gtk/preferences.c: the gtk/gnome preferences dialog don't show
advanced options unless advanced is set
all: set the advanced flag to VLC_FALSE or VLC_TRUE for all options, by
using some common sense. Please check and correct

note: All interfaces should still work like they used to, see the change in
modules/gtk/preferences.c to find out how to "hide" options.

second note: I think I've changed all the modules, but I could not test
everyone for compilation, expect some broken modules (the fix is to add ",
VLC_TRUE" as last argument to the add_* I forgot)

                     multicasting with the stream output
 * modules/control/: missing cvsignore

  audio output. Consequently, the first argument can be any vlc_object_t.
* modules/gui/macosx/*: greatly simplified volume functions ; you can now
  call aout_Volume* even when there is no audio output, and the volume
  will be saved for later use.

* Updated po files,
* New --buggy-psi options, to supports streams which don't update the
continuity counter in their PSI packets (walkenizes #sam).

    to come.

interface modules to be loaded in the background when vlc starts. This is
usefull for lirc, logger and xosd. Also got rid of the hacky way the sap
module was inserted, as this just needs to be added to this list now.

 * added a add_integer_with_range() and add_float_with_range()
 * gtk interface: now uses a slider when a min or a max is specified

* src/libvlc.h, src/input/input_dec.c: added an "sout-video" and
"sout-audio" config option that allows to selectively enable audio or
video stream output. This is very useful if you want to play video on
one computer and audio on another one ;)

  effect should give you the feeling that you stands in a real room with
  a complete 5.1 speaker set when using only a headphone, providing a
  more realistic sound experience. It should also be more comfortable
  and less tiring when listening to music for long periods of time.It
  works with any source format from mono to 5.1.

  -> please try it and feel free to give me some feedback. Some
     improvements are already planned (adding echo, more configuration
     options, ...).

NB: whereas the filter itself is in a (very first) stable version, the
    way it is integrated to the filter chain is only a _temporary_ hack
    since it's the audio ouput core (input.c actually) which is directly
    responsible for it. Integrating it in a more suitable way will
    probably require some work on the way the filters are selected as
    well as on the configuration level, but I'm working on it :)

    signed/unsigned comparisons, and removed trailing spaces here and there.

* Added the PLAYLIST_CHECK_INSERT option to the playlist. That option
checks previously enqueued sessions before enqueing.

    stream's aspect, not to square pixels.

    the aspect ratio of the stream. Two different usages are possible, either
    int:int ("16:9") to specify a real aspect ratio, or float ("1.25") to
    specify pixel squareness.

    Note that it does not work properly yet; it will need an API change in
    the video output layer that I'm working on.

* INSTALL.win32, include/vlc_config.h, src/libvlc.h: changes to reflect the
   fact that libdvdcss now needs a colon after the DVD drive letter (on Win32).

* src/misc/messages.c: on Win32 only use fflush() if in debug mode.

* src/misc/win32_specific.c: try to raise the our process priority slightly
   above normal. This prevent us from suffering too much from normal activity
   of the OS.

    only two levels of -v are now possible: -v for warnings, -vv for debug
    messages (-q for no output at all).

  ./src/libvlc.h: Default to en0 instead of eth0 under Darwin

    locales breakage.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: libvlc understands the VLC_VERBOSE environment variable,
    to be set between 0 and 4. Default value is 0 for a program using libvlc,
    but vlc sets it to 1 by default.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: -v now works the old way (-v, -vv, -vvv) as
    well as the new way (-v0, -v1, -v4). -v1 is the same as -v, and -v0 is
    the same as -q (quiet). Hope it's all understandable.

to select which interface to use for multicast sockets.

* modules/codec/a52.c: Fixed detection of A/52 sound.
* modules/audio_filter/converter/a52tofloat32.c: Fixed a bug related to
  downmixing.
* ALL: Added hooks for audio volume management.

* Prepared for some advances in the aout3 clock management.
* Added the first stone of the forthcoming stream output.

  * ALL: lots of -ansi -pedantic fixes.

    waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
  * ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
  * ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
    directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
    this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.

    about 2000 lines of code.

    I could not test everything on every architecture, so please report
    any module breakage (especially on BeOS, OSX and QNX).

* include/vlc_threads.h,include/main.h,src/misc/threads.c,src/misc/win32_specific.c:
reverted Win32 pthread implementation to the old code. Fixed vlc_cond_broadcast() for
WinNT/2K/XP. Additional vlc_cond_* implementations for Win9x.
* src/libvlc.h: renamed --fast_pthread option into --fast-mutex. Added a
--win9x-cv-method option to choose which vlc_cond_* implementation we want on Win9x.

  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
    its purpose.
  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
  * include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
    always valid.

  * ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
    vlc --help for more information.

  * include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
    (thanks fenrir for convincing me).
  * ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.
  * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: removed the last remaining call to
    input_ChangeES.

   Things I'm not sure about and need comments:
    - I used "mpga" and "mpgv" for MPEG (1+2) audio and video fourcc values.
    - I also introduced "spu ", "lpcm" and "ac3 ".
    - I removed for instance "MP4_GetCodec" because it wasn't really
      used except for the description string. I hope this change did not
      break anything really important.
    - fenrir, I must have broken a lot of things you wrote. Sorry in advance.

    extra plugin location.
  * ./plugins/text/rc.c: if stdin/stdout are not connected to a TTY, we
    don't launch the rc interface.
  * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compilation warning.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: cosmetic enhancements in the message output.
