* cleaned up some alignment in configure --help

Remove playlist info accessors (as they now belong to input_item) and use vlc_input_item_AddInfo and vlc_input_item_GetInfo instead

* Added package-win32-base-exe-cygwin Makefile target, for Cygwin/msys users who don't need wine.  (This should really be folded into the package-win32-base-exe target, but I'm not sure what the best way to detect a Cygwin/msys build environment is ...)

* changed 2 strings to lower-case, which prevented compilation using UFS as FS under OSX. Thanks to Philip Edelbrock for reporting the issue.

* src/misc/image.c, include/vlc_image.h: new image handler facility making use of decoders and filters to load images.

* Each module can declare a "human-readable short name" with set_name
* Modules are sorted by category (set_category, set_subcategory).
  Modules configs can be separated by set_section()
* Separated audio-filter and audio-visual
* Separated extraintf and control
* New command and widget : add_module_list() for comma-separated modules
* Vfilters now use "," as separator

* include/vlc_xml.h, src/misc/xml.c: core wrapper for XML modules.
* modules/misc/xml/xtag.c: trivial XML parser module.
* modules/misc/xml/libxml.c: XML parser module using libxml2.
* modules/gui/skins2/parser/*: removed dependancy on libxml2 and use an XML module.

- Easier TLS module wrapper.

Build the correct files
Updated TODO

* modules/stream_out/transcode.c: re-use the SPU engine.
* src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: support for resizing subpictures.

* added the new OSX vout files to pb proj.

    + Don't use vlc_app_DATA for the BeOS bundle.
    + Build the BeOS bundle in $(top_builddir).

   (really strange crashes happen otherwise, can't figure out why)
 + Makefile.am: don't forget to build vlc-bundle on BeOS

* configure.ac, Makefile.am: don't use upx in the win32 installer anymore as some people have been complaining about loading time problems.

Reviews welcome

  (expect some breakage).
* modules/video_filter/blend.c: new alpha-blending module.

 + contrib/src/Makefile: build more libs on BeOS, use libdts' svn
 + Makefile.am: fixed BeOS packages generation

 + extras/contrib/src/*: build libmpeg2 w/o mmxext and 3dnow on BeOS
   (buggy compiler)
 + modules/gui/beos/*: quick compile fixes
 + modules/video_filter/deinterlace.c: require mmxext instead of mmx
 + Makefile.am: on BeOS, build a VLC bundle a la OS X

  - The VLCApplication is now launched at the vlc.c level instead of at the module level. Allows VLC to be a more valid Mac application, also removes the vout intf dependancy (use ncurses to disp. video :).
    This wasn't done at the libvlc level, because a mozilla plugin would no longer be able to function properly.
  - Some functionality of the macosx vout may not work without the OS X GUI, and not all of this is checked yet.
  - There is a symlink in VLC.app/Contents/Mac called clivlc that will force it back to a fullblown cli app when you want, so it can still be run by a user who isn't logged in via GUI.
  - there are some autorelease leaks which need to be tackled.
  - moved a lot of the VLCApplication func. to the VLCMain class.
  - VLCMain is a +sharedInstance now.
  - the complete OS X interface is still badly broken because of the many API changes lately. any volunteers?

Examples:
VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC [-I macosx]
launches VLC as before (requires you to be logged in via GUI)

VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I ncurses
launch vlc with a ncurses intf and display video on your mac
(requires you to be logged in via GUI)

VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/clivlc -I telnet -d
launch vlm remotely trough ssh in daemon mode, on a GUI'less server for instance, and stream your vids

Now how is that for combining GUI and cli in one application on the mac?!!? :)
jlj? I finally understand now how the OS X interface works !
