check that command line parsing still works for items and options? )

- src/libvlc.c
  include/vlc/vlc.h : New libvlc functions to get playlist status and
                      clear the playlist
     Patch by Tong Ka Man

- src/playlist/* : Update copyrights

- src/playlist/playlist.c:
  -When a user explicitely asks for an item, do play it, even if random mode
  -Do not stop playlist upon deletion of an autodelete item
  -playlist_Clear (Patch by Tong Ka Man)

an interface to allow setting the duration on adding a playlist item.

cripple PBC for now though.

option. Run-of-the mill users may want to select that.

Update documentation.

* commands/cmd_fullscreen.*, parser/interpreter.cpp: added a
  "vlc.fullscreen()" command

* modules/video_output/directx/directx.c: patch by Mike Schrag to add a config var
for the directx preferred display device.

* modules/gui/skins2/vars/playlist.cpp: use ICONV_CONST to deal with the different prototypes for iconv(). Thanks sam!

* configure.ac: win32 compilation fixes for the skins2 plugin.
* modules/gui/skins2/Modules.am: renamed the plugin name into skins2 so it doesn't conflict with the old plugin.
* modules/gui/skins2/vars/playlist.cpp: fixed invalid cast.

  be download.videolan.org etc etc etc.
  A lot of small fixes

* src/playlist/item-ext.c : sanity checks when adding items

 * configure.ac: readded AX_ADD_PLUGINS([mpgv mpga m4v mpeg_system ps ts
   avi asf aac mp4 rawdv demux2 nsv real]), it was probably a mistake ....
   ( ouiiinnn, another bootstrap ;)

 * all: added net_* helpers functions.

What may be broken (untested):
------------------------------
   - Theora and Speex decoders
   - some interfaces
   - VCDX and CDDAX access

The problems shouldn't hopefully excess compilation glitches.
(removal of AddExt, of psz_author, and prototype of Add)

Additionnaly, interfaces that do not support item-change will have
update problems.

* Updated modules list

  modules/gui/wxwindows/iteminfo.cpp
        - Show the info as a tree view.
         At the moment, all is shown. We should maybe hide the "Options" tree
         as it rather "internal"
        - Improved a little the layout
        - Added a popup menu to to the playlist
        - Minimize playlist rebuilds

  modules/demux/avi/avi.c
  modules/demux/asf/asf.c
  src/input/es_out.c
        - Fill the playlist info structures

      - Use the new playlist API
      - Track title changes
      - Timeout. Delete an item if we haven't heard about it for too long.

* src/playlist/item.c
  src/playlist/info.c
  src/playlist/item-ext.c
  src/playlist/group.c
  src/playlist/sort.c
  src/playlist/loadsave.c
  include/vlc_playlist.h
      - New playlist_info structures and accessors
        It works pretty like the old input_info (with categories)
        It provides modularity to the playlist
      - Removed ppsz_options and i_options from playlist_item
        (we use the special category Options)
      - Added a unique id to each playlist_item to be able to track the
        items accross playlist reorders
      - Simplified adding of items.
           - playlist_AddExt is removed
           - playlist_AddItem is still here and exported but should not be used
           - use playlist_Add( p_playlist, uri, name, duration, mode, pos )
             and use the accessors for all other things
      - Added setters for fields of the playlist_item structure
      - Introduced "item-change" and "playlist-current" playlist variables
        to give more flexibility than only intf-change

      At the moment, duration is still in the structure (easier to use, IMHO)

* src/input/input.c
  src/libvlc.c :
        playlist item options parsing changed

* include/vlc_common.h : added playlist_info structures

* modules/gui/skins2/vars/playlist.*: win32 compilation fix (not sure it is the right one).

* modules/codec/ogt/*: win32 compilation fixes.

* ALL: bumping version number to 0.7.1-cvs.

    + Minor fixes to the woody packages.

 (From mplayer:
    "count blocks by rounded-up chunksizes instead of chunks -
     we need full emulation of dshow avi demuxer bugs :(
     fixes silly nandub-style a-v delaying in avi with vbr mp3..." )

write_png: might be made into a module and moved elsewhere
cvd*: went over documentation a little bit.

subtitles.

 * es_out.c: ES_OUT_SET_PCR works now with microsecond.
 * configure.ac, Modules.am: enable demux2, nsv, real.
 * demux2.c: increased priority.

 needs modification to ffmpeg decoder that I need to finish.

 will be removed later).

    + Build-depend on fixed linux-kernel-headers packages.
  * debian/rules:
    + Look for faad in extras/faad2, not extras/faad.
    + Enable postprocessing in the ffmpeg configuration.
    + Activated libcaca video output.

    + Ported to libcaca 0.6.
    + Removed dithering configuration variable; use the CACA_DITHERING
      environment variable instead, until the API is polished.
  * include/codecs.h:
    + Minor coding style fix.
