Disabled by default, enable with --enable-loader
There's no sanity checks in configure so don't do it if your platform is not compatible.

zorglub and Anil report it works for WMV3 with the dmo decoder plugin.
It seems to crash with Quicktime (after displaying a few frame ?).
There's no RealVideo decoder so, won't do that, but it probably could as well.

Legal considerations
=====================

Section 2 of the GPL puts no restriction on what you link with so long as
you have obtained the program from source (and compiled it yourself), so
this is OK.

It is not clear to me whether it is ok to provide binaries with this
feature enabled. Maybe it would infringe on the GPL and, hence, on VLC's
past contributors intellectual rights. So if in doubt don't put this in
binary package you make.

    
    done:
    - all items are included with complete l10n support
    - checkboxes and select-file-buttons behave as they are supposed to
    
    todo:
    - implementation of the logic, i.e. handling of the collected values, respective manipulation of the GUI, start of the stream
    - move some arrays to an external header file
    - some GUI things (e.g. radio buttons on page 2, etc. - see FIXMEs)
    - implementation of some help-dialogues (it might be necessary to create a re-usable window in the nib for that, since NSAlert is Panther and Tiger only)
    - l10n string fixes (both in OSX and WX)
    => most of the work still needs to be done

Makefile.am: don't unix2dos dboxfiles.html as it produces problems with Movieplayer on dbox2 (refs #178).

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.

The old VLC.app target has been renamed VLC-release.app

* removed the linkage to it in all localisations since it is a global entity now

- TODO: SSL on Windows

* src/extras/dirent.c, ALL: fixed win32/ce dirent replacement and made it accessible from plugins as well.

 Makefile.am: in package-beos, use $(STRIP) instead of strip since we
   might be cross-compiling

Run makensis installer on Linux without wine to produce Windows installer package. NSIS 204 needs a patch for installation under Linux, it will be uploaded to contrib directory.

  VLC can now be built in a subdirectory

* small fix to the handling of the new nib-files (we are using the >= 10.2 format for the new ones, so 'objects.nib' is called 'keyedobjects.nib')

* 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.
