(da big courmischage)

- updated to axvlc.inf used to create http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab

AUTHORS: I haven't moved to Germany as far as I know: )

all: clean-up, bug fixes so that plugin is now working correctly with Visual Basic 6 (which I have tested) and hopefully should also work with .NET (which I havent't tested).

Outstanding issue: the control properties are not persisted

vlc16x16.bmp: toolbar icon for VLC plugin

src/libvlc.c,include/vlc/vlc.h, include/variables.h: added a new a API to libvlc called VLC_VariableType, this API allows to retrieve the type of a VLC variable. this API is very useful for binding with highlevel languages, such as javascript, VBScript, etc... which allow for weakly typed variables such as Javascript. in order to support the VLC_VariableType API, i've had to move the variable type definitions from variables.h to vlc/vlc.h

vlccontrol.cpp, axvlc.idl, axvlc.tlb, axvlc_idl.h: added a getVariable and setVariable to provide support for VLC_GetVariable and VLC_SetVariable respectively,and requires the new VLC_VariableType API.

main.cpp, viewobject.h, viewobject.cpp: support for advise on viewobject

- few bugs fixed
- added suport to Ole Extent measurments to improve compatibilty

- all: intitial offscreen drawing support (mostly for printing). Unfortunately, video output cannot be printed at this stage, and to support it, interfacing with a video filter such as the 'snapshot' filter is required to do a still capture.

NOTE: the slider is actually another ActiveX control but it could be replaced by a javascript equivalent if one wants a better looking slider.

plugin.cpp: some minor cleanup

This was breaking make dist, and therefore the SVN .tar.gz snapshots

- activate (make visible) as soon as embedded into a container, no longer wait for container to do the activation

This fixes an annoying Internet Explorer optimization which would make the activex control invisible till a user moves the mouse over it

- DllRegisterServer modified to use current DLL path when registering control

- self registration (Internet installation now possible)
