* forward-port [17497] with the addition of an 'embedded' check, because this work-around triggers the fspanel to keep hidden all the time when using detached vouts. Ideas on this issue are welcomed ;)

This array is now usable as a reliable source of data for size
Use playlist_CurrentSize(p_playlist) to retrieve the size of the current playset.

 * Remove the random special case
 * Use the array of currently playing items for all cases
 * Convert array items to array API
 * Replace standard searches in sorted arrays by bsearches
 * Size is not yet fixed (next round).

Array
 * Add reset/value and bsearch functions
 * Add foreach helper

Fix MacOS X black screens and play as background options. These are 'window level' options and as such should not use p_real_vout, because that's just for options shared by the opengl and the quickdraw renderer

* major speed and memory improvements to the image handling (the panel launches noticebly faster now) and controls 
* coding style fixes

- just FYI: The VLCFSVolumeSlider and VLCFSTimeSlider classes will be merged later on to add as little code duplication as possible.

For the records: please don't re-invent the wheel, also if there are only 2 places which already do the exact same thing and you're going to add the 3rd place!!

* native GUI elements for the Fullscreen panel by Simon Damkjr Andersen <simondamkjaer@gmail.com>. Thanks again!

Add input_ItemAddOptionNoDup (unused at the moment)
+ free warning fix

  p_libvlc->b_die
  Not implemented for OS X as I am not sure, please check if it is feasible.
* Don't run the dummy interface

* various improvements to our Apple Remote bindings by the original author of the inofficial API, Martin Kahr (martin at his surname.com)

Also, make it clearer what is shared and instance-specific

So,
libvlc_t ==> libvlc_global_t
vlc_t ==> libvlc_int_t (internal instance)

p_object->p_libvlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc_globale
p_object->p_vlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc

VLC_OBJECT_VLC ==> VLC_OBJECT_LIBVLC

And by the way, there is some cleanup required :) (ie, some things are created in the global object instead of the instance-specific one)

* removed some further hangover from the original patch and finally added embeddedWindow to the xcode project

- basically written by Jerome Decoodt <djc at videolan dot org> aka DiDjCodt
plus
- various patches, coding-style fixes, etc. here and there
- integration to VLCControls
- automagic fading-in and -out when in fullscreen mode

TODO:
- get and use native graphics. These are currently being prepared by Simon Damkjaer Andersen, who already donated new playback mode icons (to be committed soon)
- implement the volume slider
- fix seeking with the time slider
- check for memory leaks
- further clean-up

ATTENTION:
for the moment, you need certain images from Jerome's patch to get this running. Put them to extras/MacOSX/Resources/ and it'll work. Otherwise, VLC won't crash, but only show strings.

* added some buttons for apple remote controlling. Save for backporting, but needs some usability testing

- added a couple of support APIs in libvlc
- retired XPCOM interface, all scripting now goes through NPObject apis
- new APIs using libvlc (roughly similar to java bindings)

* configure.ac: enabled Obj-C exceptions in the OBJCFLAGS (they're currently used by AppleRemote only, but we should extend them to further classes)
* AppleRemote.*: added svn id and proper notes about the MIT-style and GPL dual licensing

* interaction.c: always show errors through the interaction framework, even if the user disabled its usage
* macosx/*: minor clean-up

* removed the old panel which used to show msg_err completely (hopefully) and added a new menu entry to show the collective errors/warnings panel by hand. Additionally, this panel got a details button now. (thanks to thedj for the idea)

osx/intf.m: don't show msg_err's in the OSX GUI anymore. Localised errors/warnings are shown by the interaction framework now.
wx/interaction.cpp: another WX compilation fix

    - intf_UserFatal takes an addition bool-argument now to set whether the error message will be blocking in the interface or not (so TRUE = blocking)
    - intf_UserWarn is always non-blocking and is used to check important, localised warnings to the user
* wx: a compilation fix, but no update to the current API
* osx: complete implementation of the interaction framework using some Carbon (!) functions, because the needed icons aren't accessible through Cocoa. Regrettably, I had to add yet another nib-file to keep the code clean and readable.

The Error-dialogue is no longer re-usable (so the specific ID was removed). The interface needs to keep track of the reported errors and warnings. Thus, it may discard them as requested by the user and doesn't need to care about the core.
