* DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
  * Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
    and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
  * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
    threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
    spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
  * Makefile optimizations.
  * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.

  * DirectX plugin by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

    Notes: o I called it 'directx' instead of 'windx' because it
             made a lot more sense to me.
           o Completely untested. I didn't manage to compile it yet.
           o Code in vout_directx.c will go through a big rewrite when
             vout 4 is finished. Xav is already working on this.

  * Win32 plugin support by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

  * 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.

* Changed files so that the MacOS X port compiles & runs [MacOS X port] ;
* If SDL/GTK/DSP is not available, don't compile the associated module.

   The BeOS port seems to work again.

   I used this command to play an unencrypted DVD, but maybe there is a
   better solution: ./vlc dvd:/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw

   Current problems: gcc doesn't like MMX-EXT instructions, and refuses
   to have register %ebx being used in the main application. Grr.

 . complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
 . separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
 . fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
   plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
   not alsa_aout_getplugin)
 . removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
   are already handled by the debian/rules script.
 . tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)

 . splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
    clean compilation of the Null Module.
