demux plugins (ps, ts, but also dvd*).
  * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: removed MPEG-related stuff from the vlc core.
  * ./src/misc/modules.c: max recursion level is now 5.
  * ./modules/access/dvdplay/es.c: fixed a buffer overflow.

  * ./src/misc/modules.c: the directory browsing should be more portable now,
    we use stat(2) instead of file->d_type.

    waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
  * ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
  * ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
    directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
    this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.

    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).

* ./src/input/* : fixed a memory leak

(incomplete and untested).

  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.h: added .mov and .mp4 files to the plugin.
  * ./Makefile: we no longer try to merge .a files into libvlc.a, but rather
    add them to the vlc-config output.

 libdvdplay installed (available from videolan CVS), and request plugins
compilation in the usual way:
	--enable-dvdplay.
Note that libdvdplay needs libdvdread and libdvdcss.

Currently it has only been tested under linux, with gnome interface (optional)
and xvideo output.

What works (more or less):
 -DVD reading in some rare cases :) (title and menus),
 -Menu pause,
 -Seeking,
 -Selecting directly a specific title/chapter/angle,
 -Changing audio, sub-picture, angle during playback,
 -Interactive menus with mouse only.

What is missing:
 -Menu buttons highlighting (needs spudec patch),
 -Keyboard interaction (needs a specific part in port specific plugins),
 -A specific interface to navigate through menus (needs that I move my ass),
 -Interactive menus won't work with other output plugins so long as they
  have not been patched to send mouse/keyboard events to vlc interface,
 -Whatever you need.

Known bugs (bugs in libdvdplay mostly):
 -Seeking in some menus or intro titles (bad vobu map),
 -Read/seek error with some DVDs,
 -the configure needs tweaking,
 -numerous segfaults,
 -decoder/output modules locking error,
 -fuzzy colors in menus when spudec is active (default in menus).

The plugin is not guaranteed to work anywhere outside my computer. If it break your, don't come and complain to me :).

  * 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.

    because some systems (such as HP-UX...) have them inlined.

* ./include/vlc/vlc.h : include os_specific.h

    remaining issues with XvPutImage detection, please confirm!

    because XvSetPortAttribute isn't always available.

    - added messages and playlist panel
    - simple dock menu (play, pause, stop)
    - context menu in video view
    - localization support: http://nanocrew.net/vlc/vlc-osx-ja.png
    - no longer broken :)

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

  * ./debian/rules: activated the vlc-xosd, vlc-kde and mozilla-plugin-vlc
    Debian packages.
  * ./po/*: updated potfiles.

  * configure.in: added -lintl to plugins_LDFLAGS.

* ./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.

  * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: the blend mode is now a lot smoother, but
    also a bit slower, so I also kept the old version, optimized it, and
    called it "mean".

  * ./plugins/xosd/xosd.c: configuration options

  * ./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.

  * plugins/a52_system/Makefile, plugins/a52_system/a52_system.c: a52 input
    module.
  * plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: added a little mwait to avoid a flood from
    the a52 input module.

Note: the new module aims at reading ac3 streams but it works only with the
ac3_spdif "decoder" since it is the only one which dates each frame contrary
to the others which can't avoid a flood from the input module.

    bug which might have been the cause of crashes.
  * ./plugins/filter/crop.c: attempt at an automatic border cropping filter,
    using "--filter crop --autocrop".
  * ./vlc.spec: added missing filters to the RPM generation.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: commented all functions.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: implemented vlc_object_find( , , FIND_ANYWHERE).
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: renamed vlc_object_unlink to vlc_object_detach.
