* moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into configuration.c and renamed it
   into config_LoadCmdLine()
* config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r anymore as this was creating
   some problems on solaris. This function now uses getpwuid and is called
   only once to store the home directory into the p_main structure.

call).

  * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.

 * DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.

  * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
  * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.

  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.

  * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
    and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.

* This the last piece of the new configuration module. You can now save your
configuration options (only from the gtk/gnome interface for now). The config
file will be saved as ~/.VideoLan/vlc

It's not quite yet finished (well there are a few small details to sort out),
but I'm going away for the week-end and I wanted to commit this before so you
can all have a play with it :)

  * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
  * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.

  * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.

  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
    palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
  * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
    and put them into spu_decoder.c.

* Modified vcd input for the new input III.
* Still have problems with end of tracks.
* Modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD :

 [vcd:][device][@[title][,chapter]

 Note that chapter support is not yet implemented.

for BT ;
* --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME: it should be -6 and
-4 but I don't know how to do it with the new configuration module) ;
* Channel manager now uses a socket from the network plug-in and is more
portable (and probably broken, too :) ;
* input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more
easily reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.

That's all for tonight.

  * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berd� ka p� t�t.
  * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
    Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
  * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.

*dvd and dvdread support for input III.

Dvdread is known to segfault at title change. I'm working on this.

- Major rewrite of the buffer core functions
- Modularity of access plugins (file, udp, http)
- Modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon ipv6)
- Autodetection of the type of stream

And a new killing feature : HTTP streams are now seekable.

Please note that dvd, dvdread and vcd plug-ins are broken and thus disabled.

  * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.

  * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
  * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.

  * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
    don't have BONE, though).

  * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
    threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
    people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.

  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
  * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.

    Each time I fix a bug in vlc I feel urge to code something useless. This
    one is very, very rough for the moment, probably buggy, slow, will crash
    your blender and reboot your fridge. Screenshot can be found here:
      http://www.zoy.org/~sam/vlc/vlc-scope.jpeg
    Activate with `--aout scope' (yes, it currently disables the real
    audio output... I'll fix this as well).

* Don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
* --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the actual
headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By the
way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.

  * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.

  * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
  * QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't work.

   * Got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were seldom used anyway.
   * All intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
   * Implemented a message queue interface plugins can subscribe to.
   * Wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
      vlc -I logger:filename.log
   * Lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.

* Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes dirent)
* configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h
* vout_directx doesn't include directx.h anymore (this file isn't part of
    the directx sdk)
* moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c directly into waveout.c (I don't
    know what I was thinking about when I created these two files ;-)
* until we fix the audio buffer underrun problem, waveout will be the
    default audio output on win32 (instead of directx).

  * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
    vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.

* Just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply with the naming
convention used by the other plugins.

    <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
  * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.

* New AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron Holtzman and
    Michel Lespinasse.
    This plugin isn't used by default, you have to specify:
    --ac3_adec liba52

  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
    not available.

* Added a new very simple audio plugin for Win32. This plugin uses the
    waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for streaming stuff than
    directsound. (you don't have to take care of underflows anymore
    because it doesn't use circular buffers).
    If you are having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently
    better adapted than the directx plugin.

* Moved some initialization stuff in audio_out.c so we can now the
    caracteristics of the audio stream before calling aout_Open().

It is now activated with option --with-dvdread, that takes the same options
as --with-dvdcss.
If you link with libdvdread statically dvdread is compiled builtin ; if you
link dynamically, it is compiled as a plugin.

  * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
    which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
  * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
