available for all platforms.
 * modules/access_output/udp.c: Now runs the output thread at
   VLC_THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST

   + lower a bit the input thread priority on win32 (using THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL now).
* modules/access/file.c:
   + s/config_GetInt()/var_Get() for file-caching.
* modules/access_output/udp.c:
   + less verbose debug messages.
   + increase thread priority on win32.

 + *threads*, src/libvlc.h:
   test HAVE_KERNEL_SCHEDULER_H before PTHREAD_COND_T_IN_PTHREAD_H
   for now because Zeta now has a pthread implementation but it's doesn't
   seem to be (enough) POSIX compliant atm.

  pthread systems (activate with --rt-priority)
* modules/access_output/udp.c: Only discard packets which are _very_ late

    + Removed u8, s8, u16 etc. for good.
  * ALL:
    + Replaced all occurrences of u8, s8, u16 etc. with uint8_t, int8_t, etc.

  gprof. If you still want to profile pthread applications using gprof please
  see http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/gprof.html and also consider
  using oprofile if you are using ia32.

* Fix for the "lock-up" problem under MacOS X. Removed the rt-priority
  configuration variable.

  as a plug-in,
* Another desperate attempt at fixing OS X lock-ups.

* Another attempt at fixing the "VLC is locking up OS X" problem
* Updated po files

* include/vlc_threads.h: Lowered OS X priorities to avoid locking the machine
* modules/access/dvdread/input.c: Fixed a long-standing bug when switching
  titles.

* modules/gui/macosx/intf.m: one of the threads wasn't in real-time
  priority !!!
* include/vlc_threads.h: tuned up OS X priorities

* include/vlc_threads.h: VLC_THREAD_PRIORITY_VIDEO equals
    THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL under Win9x/Me.

                  BeOS computers (closes #119)
 * others: removed old printf or unused code.

* modules/gui/macosx/vout.m: Only hide the menubar and cursor if fullscreen
  mode is on the primary screen,
* po/*: Updated po files.

* Fixed a segfault in the "Close Window" code,
* Fullscreen state is now retained between files,
* Preferences items now feature LONGTEXT tooltips (maybe we should wrap them ?).

* src/misc/messages.c: don't try to decorate logs on win32.
* include/vlc_common.h, include/vlc_threads.h: we now use different
thread priorities for WinNT/2k/XP or Win9x/Me.

    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.

* configure.ac.in: libvorbis depends on libogg.
* include/vlc_threads.h: changed the different threads priorities to optimize
   audio and video quality as well as responsiveness.
* modules/audio_output/waveout.c modules/audio_output/directx.c: waveout and
   directx will now use the float32 format if available. Various tweaks for
   better performance.

* include/vlc_threads.h: Avoid locking the interface,
* ALL: reworked all audio output plug-ins to correctly take into account
  i_channels. At present this is known to break OSS, probably others.

otherwise we can't quit the application any longer...

autodetect S/PDIF hardware support and the audio output plug-in chooses
the best one. Of course it probably breaks existing output modules, see
oss.c for hints :).

Also include minor tweaks which will entitle us to decode and output 5.1
audio. It may break existing plug-ins, too. See
audio_output.c:aout_FormatNbChannels for hints.

policy.

    might break the HP/UX or Solaris ports, please check if possible.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c: fixed syntax in the st and pth implementations.

* ALL : Added a priority argument to vlc_thread_create(), so that audio
and input threads can run with a higher real-time priority, on systems
allowing you to use priorities.

  * ALL: lots of -ansi -pedantic fixes.

    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: fixed the --fast-mutex option.

* 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.

    strndup to a separate file so that Win32 can benefit from it.
  * ./include/vlc_threads.h: Borland compilation fix.

    implementation to avoid races, by using SetEvent instead of PulseEvent.

* ./include/vlc_threads.h: re-merged vlc_threads.h and threads_funcs.h.

   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
