control/media_descriptor.c: Publish an Event plus a method to get the media_descriptor state, which is buffering, playing, error, nothing special. This is a bit controversial as we need a media_instance to set that state, and this is media_instance dependant. However, this is a nice shortcut.

Not every body trusts "free.fr", especially not through non-secure HTTP, and/or non-FQDN-only hostnames

Tell the user about --advanced when his help query skipped advanced configuration items.

Use \033[0;1m instead of \033[37;1m for bold text using the default color (prevent using bold white text on terms with a white background).

Make it possible to inherit the m3u-extvlcopt option in the m3u parser.

macosx: remove useless setting as basically no user wants the wizard panel to reset in a single session, but demands it to keep its selections (this was the default behaviour anyway)

(affects HTTP interface and LUA plus HTTP export for DVB and RTP)

modules/video_output/opengllayer.m: Don't free the gl texture in End(), but in the releaseGLContext function. Set the original bounds of the CALayer. Protect the removeFromSuperlayer by a CATransaction.

* Add some proper assert() to the vlc_gc_* function to spot errors.
* Correctly initialize the refcount to 1. (This will prevent freed pointer usage). (This may also introduce leaks in some module).
modules/*.c:
* Prevent some module to leak input_item_t.

contribs: fix libdvdnav runtime on win32 (patch was deleted when switching to mplayer's libdvdnav), extract using gzip

* withCString is deprecated in 10.4. Use WithUTF8String instead, as VLC's core is completely UTF8 now. Remove a couple of (nowadays) useless checks

Qt4 - simplify the VideoWidget. VideoWidget is a just an simple QFrame with the necessary interactions...
