* toolbox: Removed compilation information from version.c to reduce the

   compilation time.
 * configure.ac: Compilation information are now determined at
   configure-time. Fixed libSDL_image static linking.
 * src/libvlc.c: Removed VLC_CompileTime() since this is not possible
   without increasing the compilation time.
