(da big courmischage)

* Removed trailing spaces

* ALL: improved hotkeys support.

* include/main.h, src/libvlc.c, src/libvlc.h, src/misc/configuration.c: added a --config, --save-config and --reset-config option to the command line.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/preferences.cpp: fixed breakeage of "Save", "Reset" and SwitchAdvanced().

  src/libvlc.c: Added a quicktime_lock on SYS_DARWIN
* ALL: QT on OSX is not threadsafe in certain areas. i have found the proces
  of identifying the right Codec to use for decoding to be one of these areas.
  So when we do this, only one thread at a time can use QT.
  Watching QT trailers is doable now, as soon as ffmpeg fix their altivec optimizations again ;)

    directory whenever possible, to use it for the spudec font or to load
    plugins.

    the GetProgramPath call, stored the path in p_libvlc instead. Fixes
    compilation under anything other than OS X.

    WIN32 isn't always defined under WinCE, but might be. Grmbl.
  * ./include/*: changed a few u* and s* to uint*_t and int*_t.

    work is still needed for missing functions. I only touched libvlc for
    the moment, plugins will come in a long long while.
  * ./bootstrap: moved MSVC project files generation here; use --update-msvc.

  * ./include/main.h: removed p_vlc->i_status because it was not sufficient
    to represent all the possible states of p_vlc; each part should be tested
    separately upon destruction.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: fixed a signed/unsigned bug that prevented creation
    of VLC_OBJECT_GENERIC objects.

  * ./src/misc/variables.c: added the VLC_VAR_COMMAND type which is simply a
    variable that stores a function pointer, and calls it when var_Get is
    called for it. The function argument is taken in val.psz_string.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: vlc_dumpstructure and vlc_liststructure are no longer
    exported to the rest of the program; instead, they're VLC_VAR_COMMAND vars
    ("tree" and "list").
  * ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: moved a few commands to VLC_VAR_COMMAND vars.

  * ./src/misc/objects.c: structure_lock is now local.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c: implemented named mutexes which provide a handy
    way to protect data across plugins which might be sharing the same
    resources. Thread-unsafe libraries come to mind, but we can imagine
    using a named mutex for configuration files, or special devices.
  * ./include/main.h: removed global_lock because of vlc_mutex_need, removed
    p_global_data because it was never used, removed structure_lock because
    it did not belong here.

    locales breakage.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: libvlc understands the VLC_VERBOSE environment variable,
    to be set between 0 and 4. Default value is 0 for a program using libvlc,
    but vlc sets it to 1 by default.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: -v now works the old way (-v, -vv, -vvv) as
    well as the new way (-v0, -v1, -v4). -v1 is the same as -v, and -v0 is
    the same as -q (quiet). Hope it's all understandable.

    p_libvlc, and each p_vlc is a child of p_libvlc. Reasons for this are:

     o the module bank and the message bank only need to be initialized once,
       which gives faster loads when multiple instances of libvlc are used,
     o we allow the possibility of different p_vlc sharing objects, for
       instance the audio output,
     o the CPU detection is only done once.

    This patch is not polished yet, but I cannot do any intensive tests for
    the moment because of a bug somewhere that leaves audio output objects
    lying here and there which needs to be investigated first. The current
    major issue is that the module bank is no longer freed.

    gtk_main() in its own thread, and does nothing on subsequent calls. This
    ensures that gtk_main is only running once.
  * ./modules/gui/familiar/*, modules/gui/gtk/*: the familiar, gtk and gnome
    modules are now fully reentrant thanks to their use of the gtk_main module.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: implemented vlc_set(), a wrapper for config_Put* available
    to external programs.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: removed vlc_stop() and vlc_end(), everything is now done
    by vlc_destroy().
  * ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: implemented a few new functions. For instance,
    run "vlc -I rc" and then type "intf gtk" or "intf gnome". You can even
    launch several of them. "segfault" works, too.

    only have one parent, because I don't want to deal with cycles, and each
    created object is indexed in a global array. This feature is unused yet,
    but it will speed up vlc_object_find(FIND_ANYWHERE).
  * ./debian/rules: activated the faad codec.
  * ./doc/fortunes.txt: new fortune cookies.
  * ./modules/codec/mpeg_video/headers.c: reduced the use of attach/detach.
  * ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: fixed two compilation warnings.

    default though).

    about 2000 lines of code.

    I could not test everything on every architecture, so please report
    any module breakage (especially on BeOS, OSX and QNX).

* include/vlc_threads.h,include/main.h,src/misc/threads.c,src/misc/win32_specific.c:
reverted Win32 pthread implementation to the old code. Fixed vlc_cond_broadcast() for
WinNT/2K/XP. Additional vlc_cond_* implementations for Win9x.
* src/libvlc.h: renamed --fast_pthread option into --fast-mutex. Added a
--win9x-cv-method option to choose which vlc_cond_* implementation we want on Win9x.

  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
    libvlc API.
  * ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
  * ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.

    extra plugin location.
  * ./plugins/text/rc.c: if stdin/stdout are not connected to a TTY, we
    don't launch the rc interface.
  * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compilation warning.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: cosmetic enhancements in the message output.

  * ./bootstrap.sh, ./src/libvlc.h, ./po/*: fixed bootstrap.sh so that it does
    not include CVS Id lines in automatically created files.

  * ./include/main.h: replaced p_sys with explicit variables because it's
    really much simpler this way. Gildas, will you ever forgive me ? :-)

   As for video output 4, this breaks almost everything, but I'll slowly
  do what remains to be fixed during the weekend.

   Changes in vlc:
   ===============

  * vlc is now a very small program (20 lines) which uses the libvlc API;
   it is quite simple for the moment but can be extended in the future.

  * interfaces, decoders, video outputs, etc. are now almost the same
   objects (yes, I know, this is C++ redone in C) and are structured in
   a tree. More about this later, but basically it allows the following
   nice features:
    - several interfaces
    - several playlists with several outputs
    - input plugins spawning helper interfaces (will be used for DVD menus)
    - anything spawning anything; I swear there are useful uses for this!

  * libvlc can be used in other programs; I'm currently writing a Mozilla
   plugin for my employer.

   Things currently broken:
   ========================

  * most interfaces, most ports
  * the playlist handling (almost finished rewriting this though). This means
   no file can be played from the GUI, you need to use the commandline. This
   also means it segfaults at EOF, when exiting the program, and it sometimes
   refuses to open a file when asked to.

* moved the function definitions from threads.h into threads_funcs.h. This
   allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main (p_main->p_sys).
* fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path options in
   configure.in

  * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
    defining it. Grmbl.
  * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.

* moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into configuration.c and renamed it
   into config_LoadCmdLine()
* config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r anymore as this was creating
   some problems on solaris. This function now uses getpwuid and is called
   only once to store the home directory into the p_main structure.

* This the last piece of the new configuration module. You can now save your
configuration options (only from the gtk/gnome interface for now). The config
file will be saved as ~/.VideoLan/vlc

It's not quite yet finished (well there are a few small details to sort out),
but I'm going away for the week-end and I wanted to commit this before so you
can all have a play with it :)

*New configuration option to choose audio output format at runtime.
It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with --ac3_adec and to
remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h

As a consequence --spdif doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass

*Fixed a typo in main.c

*Return the option name in error message for unknown option intead of the
argument.

This is the first part of the new configuration architecture for vlc.
Two other parts will follow soon:
- config file implementation
- gtk configuration interface.

This part won't change much for end-users as these changes are mostly
internal, you will however notice that the command line interface has
changed. It will maybe be less user-friendly as I almost removed the
short options but it shouldn't a big problem when the config file is
implemented.

What as changed is that it is really easy now to add configuration
options to vlc. Plugins can also implement configuration options. All
you have to do is to declare a MODULE_CONFIG section in your plugin.
If you want to know more about this look at configuration.h and for some
example: main.c, dsp.c or xvideo.c

It would be nice if every developper could now start using configuration
options in there plugins and also enhance old plugins.

That's it, now let's hope I didn't break too many things ;-)

  * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
    of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
  * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
    which should speed up output spawning.
  * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.

   Notes on the *_Probe eradication:
  o I probably broke the DirectX video output, because of the "must init and
    run in the same thread" issue. I'll fix this ASAP.
  o Subtitles are broken (or at least, pretty ugly) in RGB mode.
  o The input plugins still have *_Probe functions. This will disappear when
    meuuh is finished with the access plugins.
  o The decoder plugins still have *_Probe functions. This is probably not
    going to change, it looks OK to me.

  * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
  * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
  * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
    other architectures which don't support overlay.

Some heavy changes today:
  * Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in.
  * Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles
    are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will
    make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
  * Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load
    plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you
    need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-)
  * Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same
    header as their prototype.
  * Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so
    there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to
    <videolan/vlc.h>.
  * First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate
    goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and
    TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
  * Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been
    ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I
    tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the
    real functions are ready).
  * Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting
    too many output lines.
  * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
  * Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has
    generated its C files.
  * Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still
    segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
  * RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only.
  * Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure
    so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
  * Fixed VCD date display.
  * Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c.
  * Wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
  * Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp.
  * Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest?
  * Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were
    not direct buffers.
  * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
  * Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy
    (Closes Debian bug #126939).
  * Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for
    the first time.

Stuff currently more broken than it ought to be:
  * The wall filter. Being fixed.
  * x11 and sdl plugins for depth != 16bpp.
  * Software YUV.
  * gvlc, gnome-vlc, kvlc shortcuts. Use --intf instead for the moment.

  * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h).
  * Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
    should not multiply header files.
  * Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
    broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
    with vout 4 :-)
  * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.

  * 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.

* Updated documentation ;
* New --desync option, to delay the video (in case of lip desynchronization) ;
this is bad, but we have no other option for the moment ;
* Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.
