(da big courmischage)

   the Playlist control. If no image is specified (default behaviour), the
   background is filled like before, with the bgcolor1 and bgcolor2 attributes.

  the method used to resize the image, which can be "mosaic" (the default)
  or "scale". Note that the previous behaviour was always "scale" before,
  but mosaic is much much faster, so use scale method only for fun ;)
* skins2/*: support of the new mosaic method; playlist resize with this
  method is significantly faster!

           wherever one action was allowed

   most other controls. The text is not really resized though (only cropped
   when needed).
   The change in the DTD is backwards-compatible.

* modules/misc/xml/*, include/vlc_xml.h: new xml_ReaderUseDTD() api to enable/disable DTD validation.

* 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.

 * skins2/parser/interpreter.cpp: Renamed vlc.ontop() into vlc.onTop()
 * doc/skins/skins2-howto.xml: doc updated

 * doc/skins/skins2-howto.xml: Updated the doc

    - new possible action vlc.mute() to mute/un-mute
    - vlc.isMute is now working well (in a boolean expression)

 * skins2/parser/builder.cpp: s/resize/resizeSE/ (SE as in South-East)
   because in the future resizing will be allowed in all directions
 * share/skins2/default/theme.xml: Updated the skin accordingly

   I didn't remove all the code handling the removed attribute (Playlist.var),
   because it can still be useful if we decide to have other List controls.

 * skins2/parser/expr_evaluator.cpp: small fix for enhanced flexibility

    handle is now stored in VlcProc.
  * x11/x11_window.cpp, win32/win32_window.cpp: set the vout window in 
    VlcProc instead of the old "drawable" trick
  * all: renamed "Time" into "StreamTime" because of a name conflict with 
   X11 (did i hear "namespace" ? ;)

* share/skins2/skin.catalog: added a default catalog as some platforms don't provide one (eg. win32).
* modules/gui/skins2/parser/skin_parser.cpp: try to load the skins catalog and if it fails, use the system's one.

    (a bit "C-style-coded" at the moment ;)
  * utils/var_bool.*: added true and false boolean variables, and the "OR"
    composite variable
  * src/var_manager.*: support for anonymous variables
  * parser/interpreter.cpp: use the RPN evaluator to resolve boolean
    expressions in the XML. Any well-parenthesized expression using "not",
    "or", "and", "true", "false" and boolean variables should be understood
    (not much tested yet).

   As it is not perfect yet, a new config option allows to disable transparency
   effects.

    The XML file must begin with:
    <!DOCTYPE Theme PUBLIC "-//VideoLAN//DTD VLC Skins V2.0//EN" "skin.dtd">
    (the "skin.dtd" is ignored but should be an URL on the website)
    and the DTD is looked up at runtime in the directories of the resource
    path (see previous commit), e.g /usr/local/share/vlc/skins2/skin.dtd
    -> the DTD doesn't need any more to be shipped with the themes.

   to get a list of possible resource directories for skins2.
   On linux the path is "~/.vlc/skins2:VLC_INSTALL_DIR/share/skins2"
   and on win32 it is "VLC_PATH\skins2'
  * src/skin_main.cpp: use the getResourceDir() method instead of #ifdef
  * parser/builder.cpp: the default font is looked up in the resource dir,
   so you can put fonts in ~/.vlc/skins2/fonts and avoid a make install

   (new variable playlist.isLoop, new commands playlist.setLoop(true)
   and playlist.setLoop(false) in the xml)

   and subdirectories. When loading a skin, the "theme.xml" file will be
   searched recursively, and the first one to be found is used.

 * skins2/*: Do not 'cd' anymore to the temporary directory where the
   .vlt is extracted (instead, we transform the relative paths specified
   in the XML file into absolute paths).

   some methods.

    - created a bool variable "playlist.isRandom" and 2 commands
    "playlist.setRandom(true)" and "playlist.setRandom(false)"
    - known bug: the playlist doesn't scroll automatically when the
    stream changes

   If you change the layout all anchorings are lost, except for anchors that
   are in the same position in the old and the new layouts.
   Adding more 'persistent' anchorings should not be very difficult.

  the following layout: [cf xmms skins ;)]

  font for xmms/winamp2 skins is supported (the bitmap must have the
  following layout: [0123456789 -] with letters of size 9x13).
  Non-digit characters are just skipped, with a hardcoded advance of 6
  (it allows correct display of time in xmms skins; the ':' are skipped)
  Small example at http://people.via.ecp.fr/~asmax/chaos.vlt (uncomplete skin)
  * vars/time.cpp: notify the observers also when the input is stopped
  * controls/ctrl_text.cpp: do not reset the FSM state and timer when the
  text is displayed (was causing bugs in time display)
