all: renamed DLL import library as libvlc.dll.a, as this is what mingw/cygwin ld expects to see. for more info refer to: http://www.sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.16/ld/WIN32.html

all: for WIN32, create an import library libvlc-dll.a when linking libvlc.dll; updating linking for vlc.exe and activex.dll to use import library in place of dll.

Yet to find a solution for the same problem with shared libvlc

- Link against -lvlc instead of src/libvlc.so otherwise installed vlc
  cannot be loaded (closes #555)
- Remove src/libvlc.a when src/libvlc.so is built so that previous item
  does not break Win32 linking

<subliminal message>how about using libtool</subliminal message>

- Link builtins with libvlc instead of vlc
  (seems to fix shared libvlc on Win32)

  so that it is cleanly built before all modules
  (step toward buildable shared libvlc on Win32)
- Don't build position dependant code when building shared libvlc
  (that was a big waste of time)
- Link builtin modules with vlc rather than libvlc

Forward port of branches/0.8.1-jpsaman-thedj revision 12070. The OSD menu subsystem consists of two parts a core part (src/osd, include/vlc_osd.h) and a subfilter (modules/video_filter/osdmenu.c). The OSD menu can be used locally or it can be streamed. It depends on the way the functionality is called from the vlc commandline. Currently there is only one way to make the subpictures appear on the video and that is through the rc-interface. The following commands are supported by it: "menu on" (show OSD menu), "menu off" (hide OSD menu), "menu left" (highlight button on the left), "menu right" (highlight button on the right), "menu up" (highlight button above), "menu down" (highlight button below) or "menu select" (perform hotkey action). When there is no button on the left, right, up or down then the menu-command will be ignored.

To stream use a commandline similar to this:

./vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --sub-filter=osdmenu --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/default.cfg --extraintf rc --sout '#transcode{sfilter=osdmenu}:std{mux=ts,access=udp,url=127.0.0.1:1234}' -vvvv

For local playback a commandline like this is needed:

./vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --sub-filter=osdmenu --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/default.cfg -vvvv

Have fun with the basic functionality - jpsaman.

New VLC_EXPORTs are now added at the end of module_symbols_t so that
offsets of other function pointers are preserved.

Deleted VLC_EXPORTs are replaced with dummy pointers for padding.

Of course, it doesn't solve the problem with changing shared structures
format :/ and it may cause SVN conflicts when multiple people changes
VLC_EXPORT. I doubt it can be avoided though.
