* Beginning of the built-in modules support.

   A few words about the changes:

  - heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
    Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
    much easier to do this way.

  - Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
    the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
    specific to module compilation.

  - After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
    to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.

  - Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
    linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
    interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
    (iDCT, motion, YUV, input).

  - It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
    plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
    to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.

  - We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
    to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
    estimate of how much we gain...

*Added checks in dvd_ifo

*Cleanings in gnome interface : the interface should be dependant on the
input method.

-bugfix in input dvd

seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now

-add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
        *menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
        *in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
        *in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through
         chapters.
This has not been finished yet (and it is not in gtk plugin then). And I
think I will leave toolbar next/prev buttons for playlist and add
button specifically for title change like for chapters.*

  * Function prototypes for the forthcoming Darwin and MacOS X port.
  * Gtk+ interface: fixed a precision issue in the scale.
  * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!

  * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.

   o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
     there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
   o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
     handle it properly yet)
   o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
   o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
   o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h

  * Changed documentation and package creation files.

   o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
   o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1

  * Added basic Qt interface.

   o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
   o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
   o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
                    the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
                    the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen

  * Misc fixes/updates.

   o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
   o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
     from me to name them "plst")
   o made a few input error messages more meaningful
   o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
     and --video

    I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
  file or made old bugs reappear.

-Added radio checks in menu items.

There are still issues with default selected item but it works well.

Note that two sorts of navigation menus are implemented : in the
menubar, one menu for title and one the chapter in current title ; and
in the popup, a cascaded version with all chapters for all menus.

The same issues as gtk plugin apply.

  * Everything in place for the 0.2.63 release.

  * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
    linux-kernel like author list.
  * Updated TODO list.
  * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
  * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.

  * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
    Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
    launched from a GUI.

found one DVD for which ifo seems false).

-Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.

-beginning of menus in gnome interface.

  (note: empty CVS mails mean that a new directory has been created,
   don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)

  * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
    people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
    have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
  * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.

  * Forgot to fix the vlc.spec.
  * Added Bozo to the author list.

 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
   a given file.
 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
   my mutexes, I promise.
 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)

  * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
    support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
    of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
  * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
    the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
    GGI window.
  * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
  * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.

  Hint of the day: don't expect to code quite long in your bed when sleepy.

 * Upgraded version number to 0.2.61. Release is today.

 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
   need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
   the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.

 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
   deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
   be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
   1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
   holes just need to be filled.
 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
   they are using X11 or SDL.
 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
   on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).

 * started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
 * a few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf

 * added --intf option to vlc
 * started cleaning vout_sdl.c
 * the dummy plugin works again
 * added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams

  There is a problem with the slider: we sometimes get unexpected async
  replies, which would mean that we don't properly lock our Xlib calls.
  Which is true. But we also get these errors when using `--vout dummy'.
  I'll investigate.

  * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
    first playlist item.
  * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
    a playlist window (still empty).
  * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.

  Ok, I promise it's the last time I check bloat in, from now the interface
  commits will be much cleaner and actually fix things :)

 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
   scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
   installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
   or directly by hand if you grok XML.
 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
   moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
   quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
   useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
   long.

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
   intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
   been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
   default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).

  Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
  instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.

  Things that should work:

 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
 * The old SDL keys still work.

   Things that are broken or may be broken:

 * Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
   errors, and make the vlc segfault.
 * Sound only works for the first file.
 * The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
 * The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
   a real bug, but still annoying.
 * The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.

   Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:

 * Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
 * File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
 * Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
 * Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
 * aout and vout autospawn (maybe).
