check that command line parsing still works for items and options? )

- src/libvlc.c
  include/vlc/vlc.h : New libvlc functions to get playlist status and
                      clear the playlist
     Patch by Tong Ka Man

- src/playlist/* : Update copyrights

- src/playlist/playlist.c:
  -When a user explicitely asks for an item, do play it, even if random mode
  -Do not stop playlist upon deletion of an autodelete item
  -playlist_Clear (Patch by Tong Ka Man)

an interface to allow setting the duration on adding a playlist item.

option. Run-of-the mill users may want to select that.

Update documentation.

* src/playlist/item-ext.c : sanity checks when adding items

 * configure.ac: readded AX_ADD_PLUGINS([mpgv mpga m4v mpeg_system ps ts
   avi asf aac mp4 rawdv demux2 nsv real]), it was probably a mistake ....
   ( ouiiinnn, another bootstrap ;)

 * all: added net_* helpers functions.

  modules/demux/avi/avi.c
  modules/demux/asf/asf.c
  src/input/es_out.c
        - Fill the playlist info structures

* src/playlist/item.c
  src/playlist/info.c
  src/playlist/item-ext.c
  src/playlist/group.c
  src/playlist/sort.c
  src/playlist/loadsave.c
  include/vlc_playlist.h
      - New playlist_info structures and accessors
        It works pretty like the old input_info (with categories)
        It provides modularity to the playlist
      - Removed ppsz_options and i_options from playlist_item
        (we use the special category Options)
      - Added a unique id to each playlist_item to be able to track the
        items accross playlist reorders
      - Simplified adding of items.
           - playlist_AddExt is removed
           - playlist_AddItem is still here and exported but should not be used
           - use playlist_Add( p_playlist, uri, name, duration, mode, pos )
             and use the accessors for all other things
      - Added setters for fields of the playlist_item structure
      - Introduced "item-change" and "playlist-current" playlist variables
        to give more flexibility than only intf-change

      At the moment, duration is still in the structure (easier to use, IMHO)

* src/input/input.c
  src/libvlc.c :
        playlist item options parsing changed

* include/vlc_common.h : added playlist_info structures

 * es_out.c: ES_OUT_SET_PCR works now with microsecond.
 * configure.ac, Modules.am: enable demux2, nsv, real.
 * demux2.c: increased priority.

* modules/demux/mpeg/mpga.c, src/input/stream.c: fixed mem leaks.

* src/libvlc.h: on win9x --win9x-cv-method=0 was problematic (eg. vlc could get stuck during video startup) so --win9x-cv-method=1 is now the default.

* src/libvlc.c: small fixes to Usage().

* include/vlc_block.h: added a temporary i_rate field to block_t.
* modules/codec/libmpeg2.c: synchro uses p_block->i_rate again.
* src/input/*: do not decode audio when i_rate != DEFAULT_RATE.

    + Added missing copyright information.
    + Added GPL header.
  * src/misc/iso-639_def.h:
    + Removed useless (and unprotected) macros.

    + Added pda.glade to the list of Glade2 generated files.
    + Remove strings such as "http://" or "/dev/video0" from the list of
      translated strings in the PDA interface.
  * Fixed grammar, spelling, a few pathetic inconsistencies, removed trailing
    whitespaces and tabulations here and there.

    fix support of audio channel mixers, like the headphone channel mixer
    for instance, which was broken since the introduction of user audio
    filters; if specified by the user and compatible with the audio
    pipeline, we add the channel mixer after the user filters.
    -> unfortunately, this fix removed two strings and introduced 4 new
       ones
    -> TODO: allow the user to choose only amongst channel mixers, not
       all available audio filters

* vlc.exe.manifest Makefile.am install-win32 :
    add a manifest file to allow the win32 gui to use Windows XP visual
    styles when available.

  this system yet and will not work before release. The visualizer system
  needs to be cleaned in 0.7.1 with one 'visual' audio filter which loads
  one or more 'visualization' true modules.

* added hotkeys Fn and COMMAND+Fn, whith 2 <= n <= 8
* bookmark9 and 10 are not added since F9 and F10 are reserved keys

                    BApplication (fixes crash for people who like scripting
                    with BMessages)

* src/playlist/*: when deleting the currently playing item, skip it instead of stopping the playlist.
* include/modules_inner.h, include/configuration.h: don't use a static array anymore during the initialization of the plugins, malloc it instead. This fixes regular overflow problems we have when we increase the number of options in the main module.

  (using CTRL+Fn)
* only F1 and COMMAND+F1 are defined for OSX (I let those developpers
  chose their keys)
* Currently the medias assigned to Fn are not saved in vlcrc if they
  have been assigned with Ctrl+Fn. But they are, if assigned via the
  preferences panel.

* src/video_output/video_output.c: small change to allow the directx plugin to destroy/recreate picture buffers on the fly.

cddax and vcdx.

* src/misc/mtime.c: fixed an overflow in mdate() on win32.
  This overflow was only affecting the hardware configurations where we can't use the performance counter and thus have to use GetTickCount().
  We now also check for the wrapping of the 32 bits value returned by GetTickCount() so mdate() doesn't wrap after 49.7 days.
* src/misc/win32_specific.c: call mdate() once in system_Init() so as to avoid thread safety issues while initialising the static variables used in mdate().

* added a lock when changing p_vout->p_last_osd_message

* added a the default CD Audio device in General Settings -> Input
* added OpenDialog::OnDiscPanelChange in wxwindows/open.cpp

* ALL: new main --video-on-top config option (in use by the x11/xvideo/osx/directx video outputs.)
* modules/video_output/x11/*: implemented support for "video on top". Will likely only work with KDE for now.

* modules/misc/dummy/*: new --dummy-save-es option to specify if we want the dummy
decoder to save the raw codec data to a file. This is disabled by default (while
it was always on before).
* src/input/es_out.c: bug fix for ES autoselection.

The last OSD message is now deleted before printing new one.
