* src/misc/variables.c, ALL: improvements to the object variables api.
   - added another argument to var_Change().
   - added a VLC_VAR_SETTEXT and VLC_VAR_GETTEXT method to var_Change()
     that are used to set/get a friendly name to an object variable.
   - added VLC_VAR_CHOICESCOUNT to var_Change() to be able to retrieve
     the number of availabel choices without having to get their value
     as well.
   - VLC_VAR_ADDCHOICE uses the extra var_Change() argument to assign
     a friendly name to the choice value.
   - VLC_VAR_GETCHOICES retrieves the choices values and their friendly
     names.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: first step in implementing menu auto-generation in the wxWindows interface.

  children" bug.

it's used as kb/s for higher ones it's b/s).
Just a remember, transcode options are:
acodec= mpga,a52
    ab (kb/s)
vcodec= mpgv,mp4v,h263,DIV1,DIV2,DIV3,I420,I422,I444,RV24,YUY2
    width
    height
    vb (kb/s)
    vt (b/s)
    deinterlace
    croptop
    cropbottom
    cropleft
    cropright
    keyint
    hq
    qmin (between 1 and 32)
    qmax (between 1 and 32)
only acodec and/or vcodec are mandatories (and it's a good idea to always
define vb,vt, and/or ab)

  fix the "sound drops after half an hour" bug)
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/coreaudio.c: reenabled the coreaudio
  resampler which works perfectly fine here
Please test that I didn't break S/PDIF output on OS X.

    linked with svgalib and svgalib using atexit().

bitrate stream.

          It is not complete yet (see the TODO in PreferencesWindow.cpp)

    - vt : video bitrate tolerance
    - keyint : number of inter frames between intra frames.

* modules/gui/skins/*: compilation fixes for MSVC. Almost working, we just to find a way to have flex.c not include unistd.h on win32 and not compile the wxwindows files when SKINS_BASIC is defined.

 u8,s8,s16 big and little endian should be supported but not all tested.

 * avi: added raw audio support (little endian only).

   basic-skins plugin with GTK2
 * modules/gui/skins/parser/skin.*: small compilation fix, but i don't
   really understand why it is necessary :)

  - added a macosx-float config option
  - changed 'opaqueness' into 'macosx-opaqueness'
* modules/gui/macosx/vout.?
  - let vout respect 'float' on top option.
  - added a toggle function to toggle float on top.
ALL:
  - menuitem and corresponding code for float on top.

  - it is not so powerful as --sout (does not allow for multiple unicasts ie)
  - there is a bug in the transcode settings. not sure what is causing it.

big audio chunk. (Avoid 100000 samples at once :(

    - added a basic-skins plugin, which doesn't make use of wxWindows
      dialogs (currently only works for win32)
    - renamed with-wx-config-path in with-skins-wx-config-path for the
      skins plugin, to avoid problems with the wxwindows plugin

* modules/access/v4l/v4l.c: fixed breakage for devices supporting I420.

* modules/access/ftp.c, modules/access/http.c: slightly changed atoll() replacement.

modules/access/ftp.c:
* fixed a very serious bug in the atoll code. this contained a never ending while loop.
  It showed on systems without atoll() (MacOSX) as an inability to view http
  and ftp streams.

module_Need (when I ask for udp I want udp or an error, but not file
or something else) by adding ",none" when a module name is specified.
 I will clean up that by adding a flag to module_Need or something like
that.
