  * Fixed a total breakage of decoder plugins introduced by fast_memcpy.
  * Got rid of #include "main.h", included it in common.h instead ; got
    rid of #include "config.h" in most files as well.

now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.

  * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
    libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
    and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
    libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.

  * Tidied the snapshot-* Makefile rules.
  * Tidied the modules Makefiles.
  * Removed useless stuff in the debian/ directory.
  * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
    patch is harmless on all systems.

  * libdvdcss enhancements by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>. This breaks
    vlc's DVD input (looks like decoders are expecting data too early and
    DVD input can't cope with it due to decryption). Needs to be investigated.
  * Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
  * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
  * ALSA plugin message corrections.
  * Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name
    (eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx').
  * Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin.

  * Fixed the BeOS compile typo.
  * The ALSA plugin is back.
  * A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
    drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
    be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
     a) we should less and less rely on those functions
     b) no plugin code modification was needed

   The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
   I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.

level corresponds now to the nb of -v to display the message.

*added functionnal preference window in gnome: it changes the
envirronment variables

*added jump window in gnome to jump to a precise time.

  * Fixed a few warnings with gcc 3.0.
  * aout and vout are now allocated in banks, making it possible to have
    several of them at the same time.
  * configure now checks for MMX and MMX EXT support in the assembler.
  * Removed all MMX code from the main program and moved it to the
    existing idct modules (Closes: Debian bug #96036).

    Don't forget to make distclean before building vlc again.

  * Mandatory step for video output IV and the audio output quality
    fix: the output threads are now spawned when a decoder needs one,
    so it can decide the audio frequency or the video window size. Still
    under heavy construction, so don't get too excited at finding bugs
    in it yet.

    Note: this change broke the XVideo module, so I made its score much
    lower than before. I suspect xvideo.so had a bug before which only
    appears now. Other video output plugins may be broken as well, but
    again this might be due to old existing bugs showing their ugly head.

  * Fixed a few buffer overflows in the Gnome interface.
  * The module bank is now a global variable. The video output bank and
    the audio output bank might follow (when they exist).
  * Coding style and organization fixes to the spdif decoder.
  * autoconf and Makefile changes by Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
    <arnaud@carrosse.frmug.org>.

  * Fixed the continuous 'seeking position' bug in network mode.
  * rc interface plugin for vlc control through /dev/stdin courtesy
    of Peter Surda <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
  * Support for `ts://foo:42' style input source:
     vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr:1234
     vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr
     vlc ts:vls
     vlc ts:vls:4321
    As a side effect, the Gnome and Gtk "network input" buttons work.

  * Merged Makefile.common and Makefile.modules.in into Makefile.modules
  * Updated version number and ChangeLog to 0.2.72
  * Additional plugin Makefile cleaning, probably the last.

  * Added .cvsignore files in the plugins directories.
  * Additional Makefile cleaning for built-in modules.
  * Fixed Makefile for Solaris target.

  * Updated TODO list with Henri's Apr 6th post.
  * Built-in modules support almost finished.

    Now you can compile any module within vlc, even the Gnome, Qt, SDL
  and GGI modules at the same time, resulting in an awful extra fat
  vlc binary with gazillons of library dependecies.

    The only exception is that the Gnome and Gtk+ modules can't be
  compiled together into vlc. But you can have one compiled built-in
  and the other as a plugin.

    Another consequence is that libdl should no longer be needed under
  MacOS X. I'll check this as soon as possible.

  * A few Makefile fixes for BeOS
  * XVideo patches by Shane Harper

  * Beginning of the built-in modules support.

   A few words about the changes:

  - heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
    Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
    much easier to do this way.

  - Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
    the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
    specific to module compilation.

  - After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
    to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.

  - Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
    linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
    interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
    (iDCT, motion, YUV, input).

  - It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
    plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
    to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.

  - We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
    to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
    estimate of how much we gain...

  * Header cleaning: filled all empty authors fields, added CVS $Id stuff.
  * Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
  * Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
    by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
  * Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.

  * Function prototypes for the forthcoming Darwin and MacOS X port.
  * Gtk+ interface: fixed a precision issue in the scale.
  * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!

  * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.

   o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
     there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
   o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
     handle it properly yet)
   o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
   o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
   o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h

  * Changed documentation and package creation files.

   o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
   o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1

  * Added basic Qt interface.

   o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
   o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
   o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
                    the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
                    the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen

  * Misc fixes/updates.

   o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
   o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
     from me to name them "plst")
   o made a few input error messages more meaningful
   o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
     and --video

    I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
  file or made old bugs reappear.
