* Fixed a total breakage of decoder plugins introduced by fast_memcpy.
  * Got rid of #include "main.h", included it in common.h instead ; got
    rid of #include "config.h" in most files as well.

  * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
    "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
    Please test! Especially Athlon users.
  * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
  * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
  * Unrolled ChangeLog.

now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.

  * Made everything ready for a vlc-0.2.91 / libdvdcss-1.0.0 release.
  * Updated ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
  * Increased vlcs response message length.
  * Removed the i_flags argument to dvdcss_open. Everything is done through
    environment variables now.

  * libdvdcss enhancements by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>. This breaks
    vlc's DVD input (looks like decoders are expecting data too early and
    DVD input can't cope with it due to decryption). Needs to be investigated.
  * Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
  * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
  * ALSA plugin message corrections.
  * Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name
    (eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx').
  * Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin.

  * Fixed the BeOS compile typo.
  * The ALSA plugin is back.
  * A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
    drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
    be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
     a) we should less and less rely on those functions
     b) no plugin code modification was needed

   The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
   I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.

Please notice that even if if builds with alsa 0.9beta, it's hardly
usable as it goes very often un Xrun mode. Though, it works fine with
current alsa CVS.

  * Fixed a few warnings with gcc 3.0.
  * aout and vout are now allocated in banks, making it possible to have
    several of them at the same time.
  * configure now checks for MMX and MMX EXT support in the assembler.
  * Removed all MMX code from the main program and moved it to the
    existing idct modules (Closes: Debian bug #96036).

    Don't forget to make distclean before building vlc again.

  * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
  * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
  * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.
  * Added "break;" after "default:" in case switches to prevent
    warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.

  * Header cleaning: filled all empty authors fields, added CVS $Id stuff.
  * Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
  * Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
    by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
  * Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.

  * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
    so this didn't make it work better.
  * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
    make it easier eventually.
  * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
  * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
  * All your base are belong to us.
  * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
    when launched from the Tracker.
  * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
  * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
    who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
    under BeOS ! Woohoo.

- modified alsa and sdl default level to 50.

 [ include/config.h.in has changed, don't forget tu run ./configure ]

 . fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
 . updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
 . removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
 . cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c

   Currently available flags are now :

     --aout dummy
            esd
            dsp
            alsa

     --idct idct
            idctclassic
            idctmmx

     --yuv yuv
           yuvmmx

  --vout works like before, but still uses the old plugin system for now.

 . the IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
   our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
 . cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
 . fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules

   WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
   use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
   you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
   and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
   again. Don't complain before having checked this :)

   Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
   use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
   loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.

Done :
- ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
- cosmetic changes

To do :
- check if it works with the latest alsa release
- add features ... prepare for 4 or more speakers

 . made the audio_output API a bit simpler.

 . got rid of modules_config.h.

 . fixed `make install' rule.

 . fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.

 . probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
   the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
   equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
   goo idea.

 . we check that the version number match and that we don't already have
   a module by that name when loading a new module.

 . all public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.

 . the audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
   have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.


   The new plugin API is now much simpler ; it's now just a matter of
calling module_Need( p_main->p_module_bank, MODULE_CAPABILITY_FOO, p_data );
and if successful we get the best module. Capabilities can be ORed, so that
one can ask for a plugin that does VOUT _and_ INTF actions for instance.

   It's not complete yet though -- by making it generic I had to do a few
ugly casts here and there, which I am going to fix ASAP. Also, command line
selection of a plugin does not work yet.

   The switch to the new plugin API has probably broken the BeOS audio
output ; we can either wait until the whole vlc has switched to the new
plugins, or create a separate beos_sound.so that conforms to the new API.

- Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
- Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
- Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
- Cosmetic changes

TODO: add vlc_*_destroy for beos and C_thread

 . this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
   and most of the tabulations.
 . also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
 . and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
   "foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"

 . no need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.

- Cosmetic changes to alsa.c
- Configure now checks alsa is present

Added : alsa support
Todo : - test it on several cards
       - support more than Stereo s16
       - make configure check for alsa
