* src/libvlc.h: disabled the encoders config options (encoders are not used anymore, all the encoding is done in the stream output transcode module).
* src/misc/win32_specific.c: added an --high-priority config option on win32 to increase the priority of the process (default enabled for now so the behaviour isn't changed.)
