* libvlc sources and plugins now define __LIBVLC__ and headers exported to
  plugins (ie, include/vlc_*.h) check for this
* libvlc sources use the value of the "libvlc" component in vlc-config instead
  of vlc
* Apply flags directly to "libvlc" in configure.ac - might temporarily break win32 :)

* Headers in include must contain the structures and prototypes needed
  by the plugins and should be named vlc_*.
* Headers in include/vlc must contain the structures and prototypes
  needed by external libvlc clients

* Moved and renamed some things in headers. 
   - Removed vlc_cpu.h, vlc_error.h (merged in vlc_common)
   - Removed snapshot.h (merged in vlc_vout.h)
   - Removed vlc_spu.h (merged in vlc_osd.h)
   - Removed intf_eject.h and vlc_interaction.h (merged in vlc_interface)
   - Moved all internal headers to src
   - Merged vlc_video.h and video_output.h and move private things to src
   - Removed vlc/intf.h, vlc/aout.h, vlc/vout.h, vlc/decoder.h and vlc/input.h
     (meta headers for use in modules, and often implying too large 
     dependencies)
* Removed some useless dependencies
* Unexported a bunch of functions and structures used only in src/
  (--> Still some work here)
* Finally made input_thread_t and input_source_t (mostly) private. 
  Added input_GetItem to fetch the input_item of an input_thread
* Cleaned up deprecated entries in vlc_symbols.h and bumped up symbol 
  prefix

Fix a bug with preferences
Added some more names
Use shortname to store the name

* Each module can declare a "human-readable short name" with set_name
* Modules are sorted by category (set_category, set_subcategory).
  Modules configs can be separated by set_section()
* Separated audio-filter and audio-visual
* Separated extraintf and control
* New command and widget : add_module_list() for comma-separated modules
* Vfilters now use "," as separator

* src/misc/modules.c: only load the plugins once (as opposed to once per VLC object instance). Should benefit the mozilla plugin a bit.

   This is still experimental so isn't enabled by default (use --plugins-cache).
   There are also a few issues that aren't dealt with yet:
     - translation of module strings.
     - config options callbacks and actions.
     - a few memory leaks.
     - and likely other things ;)
   You can easily reset the plugins cache with --reset-plugins-cache.

* include/modules_inner.h, include/modules.h: added a shortname field to the module declaration section.
* modules/access/*: added a shortname to a few modules.

demux2, and will be decreased as soon as demux -> demux2 is finished).

 * modules/demux/demux2.c: added all audio demuxer shortcuts.

* ALL: changed the prototype of module_Need() to accept a "strict" boolean argument.
If "strict" is true and a module name is provided then module_Need() will only look for the specified module
If "strict" is false, then module_Need() will first look for the specified module and if it wasn't found, will continue with the other modules with the same "capability".

    + First try to detect the OS X native dynamic linker before falling
      back to dlfcn.h.
    + Enhanced the dlopen-style loader detection.
    + Added a check for HP-UX's shl_* functins.
  * src/misc/modules_plugin.h.in:
    + Support for the dylib dynamic loader on OS X.
    + Support for the shl dynamic loader on HP-UX.

    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.

    won't unload it. This makes us more fault-tolerant with crap libraries
    that are making use of atexit().
  * ./configure.in: svgalib can now be a plugin.
  * ./modules/misc/gtk_main.c: gtk_main doesn't need g_atexit anymore.

    the vlc_object_* and vlc_list_* functions to manage modules. The Win32
    interface doesn't build, but I'll fix this.

    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/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
    its purpose.
  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
  * include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
    always valid.

  * ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
    vlc --help for more information.

  * include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
    (thanks fenrir for convincing me).
  * ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.
  * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: removed the last remaining call to
    input_ChangeES.

   Things I'm not sure about and need comments:
    - I used "mpga" and "mpgv" for MPEG (1+2) audio and video fourcc values.
    - I also introduced "spu ", "lpcm" and "ac3 ".
    - I removed for instance "MP4_GetCodec" because it wasn't really
      used except for the description string. I hope this change did not
      break anything really important.
    - fenrir, I must have broken a lot of things you wrote. Sorry in advance.

  * ./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.

    module names. Try for instance: "vlc --intf gnome,gtk,dummy".

* ./include/configuration.h: renamed MODULE_CONFIG_* macros into
CONFIG_*.
* ./include/configuration.h, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c,
./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c,
./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: added an ADD_STRING_FROM_LIST()
configuration macro.
* ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
* ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.

  * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
    p_vlc.
  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
    ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
    yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.

   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.
