and vlc:quit work again.
  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: when a new target is added, for instance through     the "File" menu, it is automatically played.

  * ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
    a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_control.c, plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: most controls such
    as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
    workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
  * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
    appropriate properties, we use it.

  * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
    p_vlc.
  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
    ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
    yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.

  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now use FIND_ANYWHERE to find a vout.
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: disabled the dvdread plugin because it
    currently sucks.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./src/interface/main.c: we now accept --nofoo
    and --no-foo as negations for --foo. Also, the --help output is nicer.
  * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: QNX compilation fix.

* ./include/vlc_common.h: got rid of i_thread in VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS.

* ./include/os_specific.h: changed prototype of system_*() to use vlc_t
instead of vlc_object_t.

    bug which might have been the cause of crashes.
  * ./plugins/filter/crop.c: attempt at an automatic border cropping filter,
    using "--filter crop --autocrop".
  * ./vlc.spec: added missing filters to the RPM generation.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: commented all functions.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: implemented vlc_object_find( , , FIND_ANYWHERE).
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: renamed vlc_object_unlink to vlc_object_detach.

  * ./bootstrap.sh, ./src/libvlc.h, ./po/*: fixed bootstrap.sh so that it does
    not include CVS Id lines in automatically created files.

    src/interface/intf_eject.c, src/misc/threads.c: win32 compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/directx/aout_directx.c, plugins/directx/vout_directx.c,
    ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: the DirectX notification and event threads
    now use the vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme. Untested.
  * ./configure.in: added a check for inttypes.h and sys/int_types.h.
  * ./configure.in: fixed the HTTP plugin compilation under BeOS.
  * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: reactivated IPv6 module.

  * ./include/main.h: replaced p_sys with explicit variables because it's
    really much simpler this way. Gildas, will you ever forgive me ? :-)

    vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme to signal readiness.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: prevent the creation of a too small vlc_object_t.
  * ./include/vdec_ext-plugins.h: removed the vdec_thread_t declaration, which
    belongs to plugins/mpeg_vdec.
  * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0_4_1_branch changelog.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: imported a 0_4_1_branch fix.

   As for video output 4, this breaks almost everything, but I'll slowly
  do what remains to be fixed during the weekend.

   Changes in vlc:
   ===============

  * vlc is now a very small program (20 lines) which uses the libvlc API;
   it is quite simple for the moment but can be extended in the future.

  * interfaces, decoders, video outputs, etc. are now almost the same
   objects (yes, I know, this is C++ redone in C) and are structured in
   a tree. More about this later, but basically it allows the following
   nice features:
    - several interfaces
    - several playlists with several outputs
    - input plugins spawning helper interfaces (will be used for DVD menus)
    - anything spawning anything; I swear there are useful uses for this!

  * libvlc can be used in other programs; I'm currently writing a Mozilla
   plugin for my employer.

   Things currently broken:
   ========================

  * most interfaces, most ports
  * the playlist handling (almost finished rewriting this though). This means
   no file can be played from the GUI, you need to use the commandline. This
   also means it segfaults at EOF, when exiting the program, and it sometimes
   refuses to open a file when asked to.

  Now it is ultra-fast !

 * intf_eject.c : added ejection code for Win32. Please test it under
                  Win95/98/Me, I just can't install a winme
                  in my work office :).
 * plugins/win32/* : enabled the "Eject" button (thanks Ipkiss)
 * src/misc/netutils.c : just changed my mail :P

* changed ADD_BOOL and ADD_BOOL_WITH_SHORT config macros to accept a
default value as an argument.
* modified the command line parsing to accept --foo and --no-foo when a
"foo" boolean config option is defined.
* modified the help menu to indicate if the option is enabled or
disabled by default.

  instead of testing 'E: ' and 'I: ' (to simplify miniVLCS)

* ./src/misc/modules.c: restored plugins hiding as the problem is fixed.
* ./plugins/directx/directx.c: UnregisterClass() in MODULE_DEACTIVATE. If
   we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
   cause a segfault.

PS: on Win32 the sdl plugin is still affected by this. It looks like SDL keeps
    an internal state which isn't updated when we reload the plugin.

    reloaded module sometimes does not work properly.

  * ./src/misc/iso_lang.c: the language prototypes now use the const keyword.

* We now use real-time threads ;
* Worked around a bug when seeking ;
All :
* Removed my patch to the video output since it causes problems for some
  people.

  Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>

* updated the MSVC++ project files and added support for dirent (vlc compiled
   with msvc can now load plugins - even compiled with mingw).
* small portability fixes.

* Dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.

* modified the directx video plugin to try to create an YUV surface before
   falling back to an RGB surface when it's not possible to use overlays.
   Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB conversion in hardware during the
   blitting stage.
* in the directx video plugin, we now request that the RGB surface be created
   in video memory. The reasoning behind this is that usually surfaces in
   video memory benefit from more hardware acceleration (like for instance
   hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc...)
* added two options to the directx video plugin to disable the above features.
   (mainly because my video driver is buggy and doesn't handle them well).

* small cosmetic changes to the generation of the config file.

* fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32. SHGetFolderPath() is located in
   shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
* fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To be sure that an int or float value
   is actually changed we call gtk_spin_button_update() in the
   GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.

when closing a  networking stream instead of input_FDClose().  It is due
to WIN32  because we have  to call  closesocket() instead of  close() to
close the socket. The problem was  : windows did not leave the multicast
group when closing the socket.

  * input_ext-plugins.c : where is located the function
  * *.h : function declaration
  * udp.c, http.c : these modules now call input_FDNetworkClose()

  of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.

  It closes the following bug : when changing channel we sometimes got
  a 'no answer from vlcs' even if the answer is sent back.

    modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.

    try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).

  * include/common.h, src/misc/modules_plugin.h: export the 3 new functions.
  * plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new behaviour.
  * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: ISO-639-2 descriptors handling.

    * include/common.h and input_ext-plugins.h, src/misc/modules_plugin.h : export input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
    * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c : a demux for mpeg audio stream (file, web radio ...)
    * Makefile configure.in : to compile it

    options callbacks.

    They don't take any argument for the moment, but this will change when
    I'm finished with my other vlc changes. There is a little problem: the
    Gtk+ interface keeps calling Put***Variable each time we click on "Apply"
    or "Save". I think it should only call it once. Is there a way to fix
    this? Gildas? lool? :-)

* The configuration file and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode
should only have a meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other
platform. If does give you any trouble then shout.

* added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal
for pointing this bug out.
* on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high priority. This helps avoiding
lots of audio underruns, especially when moving around the video window.

* moved the function definitions from threads.h into threads_funcs.h. This
   allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main (p_main->p_sys).
* fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path options in
   configure.in
