  * 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.

  * added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
    isn't available on the desired platform.
  * replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
    `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
    (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
  * cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
    builds and runs properly.

 * fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian

 * heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
   dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c

 * added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
   extras/DVDioctl; to build it:

    % cd extras/DVDioctl
    % pbxbuild
    % kextload build/DVDioctl.kext # note: kextload has to be run as root

   be aware that the license for the DVDioctl kernel extension is
   not GPL but APSL, because I borrowed some code from the Darwin kernel.

* Changed files so that the MacOS X port compiles & runs [MacOS X port] ;
* If SDL/GTK/DSP is not available, don't compile the associated module.

  * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
  * Added a --disable-css configure option
  * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
    for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.

-Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.

I have only tested it on my computer ; so I don't know if it work
elsewhere, particularly on BSD and BeOS.

 . fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
 . made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
   AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).

 . should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
    (tested on puma)
 . removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
 . updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
 . now we only load modules that end with ".so"
 . null module is compiled by default

* --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
optional library name ;
* deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
* /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.

It seems to compile and run on BSD. Under Linux Sam's latest commit makes
vlc crash on startup, so I can't really tell, but hey it compiles.

Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...

 . include/config.h devient include/config.h.in et config.h sera
  g�n�r� par ./configure. Le but est d'�viter les options -DFOO de gcc
 . suppression d'un 'Resources' qui trainait encore dans config.h
