(because others do it - no idea if it helps, though)

  - fixed the infamous "libmad is twice slower" bug
  - fixed libmad dynamic build
  - added a52 support to ffmpeg
  - remove libdvdnav

 - skins2/theme/skin.dtd: Removed Event and Rectangle tags
 - skins2/src/theme.cpp: Destroy curves explicitely
 - ALL: Anchors can be defined using a Bezier curve, which allows
   rectilinear anchors (but it is still possible to define anchors
   reduced to a single point).
   A "curved anchor" only attracts "single point anchors"

  libmodplug working now. apparently it didn't like dynamic linking on OS X.

   + lower a bit the input thread priority on win32 (using THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL now).
