locales breakage.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: libvlc understands the VLC_VERBOSE environment variable,
    to be set between 0 and 4. Default value is 0 for a program using libvlc,
    but vlc sets it to 1 by default.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: -v now works the old way (-v, -vv, -vvv) as
    well as the new way (-v0, -v1, -v4). -v1 is the same as -v, and -v0 is
    the same as -q (quiet). Hope it's all understandable.

* FAQ: updated FAQ with config file issues.
* configure.ac.in: use -mms-bitfields instead of -fnative-struct for
   mingw32 gcc-3.x.
* include/interface.h, modules/misc/dummy/interface.c, modules/misc/logger/logger.c,
   modules/control/rc/rc.c: Display message on Win32 explaining how to get
   back to the GUI mode.
* src/misc/threads.c, include/vlc_threads_funcs.h: ignore the
   win9x-cv-method config option on WinNT when fast-mutex is not enabled.

    p_libvlc, and each p_vlc is a child of p_libvlc. Reasons for this are:

     o the module bank and the message bank only need to be initialized once,
       which gives faster loads when multiple instances of libvlc are used,
     o we allow the possibility of different p_vlc sharing objects, for
       instance the audio output,
     o the CPU detection is only done once.

    This patch is not polished yet, but I cannot do any intensive tests for
    the moment because of a bug somewhere that leaves audio output objects
    lying here and there which needs to be investigated first. The current
    major issue is that the module bank is no longer freed.

  * ./src/vlc.c: don't rely on internal vlc types (mtime_t).

* ALL: Fewer overhead when resampling.
