* bootstrap: fix for the AC_MSG_WARN() problem when pkg-config is not installed (hopefully).

    + Fixed a typo causing the Mozilla plugin build to fail.
    + Call the generic rule in "all" instead of "all-am" to spare one make level
      of recursion.

    + Smaller makefiles.
    + Faster builds. Heh.

    checked, to prevent inadvertent file losses.

* Makefile.am, bootstrap, mozilla/Makefile.am: don't try to build pic _and_ non-pic code on win32 as there's no need for pic code on this platform. This should almost reduce the compilation time by a factor of 2 when the mozilla plugin is activated in the build process.

    + Run autopoint with the -f flag.
    + Remove stamp files in the bootstrap process.

    current directory but looked for in the parent directory.

    + Minor indentation fix.
  * toolbox:
    + Exclude vlc_symbols.h and modules_{plugins,builtins}.h from POTFILES.in.
  * po/*:
    + Re-ran toolbox --update po.

    + Removed a useless use of cut.
    + Do not fail in the "clean" rule if no targets were built.
  * Makefile.am:
    + Propagate $(srcdir) to toolbox.
  * toolbox:
    + Do not include .moc files in POTFILES.in.
    + Fixed the generation of MSVC project files (untested).

    woody package build.
  * bootstrap:
    + Remove config.h.in and config.h before running autoheader.
    + Added "set -e" for better error tracking.
    + Call autoheader and automake after autoconf so that the first build does
      not need to call autoheader.
  * debian/woody-buildpackage:
    + Removed that script and put the code in toolbox.
  * debian/control:
    + Added a build-dependency on libmatroska-dev.
  * debian/rules:
    + Activated Matroska support.
    + Re-enabled dh_installchangelogs.

    + Disabled a redundant BUILT_SOURCES variable.
  * debian/woody-buildpackage:
    + Disable skins for woody (no WxWindows).
    + Do not build a diff since we always use the pristine tarball.

    build errors are never ignored.

    is actually nicer this way.

    + The clean rule properly removes generated objects.
    + Optimized recursive builds.
  * debian/rules:
    + Fixed a typo in the changelog installation.

    themselves as 1.[0-5]-* instead of 1.[0-5].*.

    + Removed the Modules.am generation. To build module/foo/libfoo.so, you
      now need to cd modules/foo and make libfoo.so.
    + Workaround for Solaris sed. Which sucks. Did I mention that before?

    their LDFLAGS.
  * bootstrap: use grep >/dev/null 2>&1 instead of grep -q because of retarded
    systems such as our beloved Solaris.
  * po/:
    + Regenerated vlc.pot.
    + Updated British translation.
    + Fixed fuzzy entries in the French translation.

    + Forward AM_MAKEFLAGS through recursive makefiles.
    + Removed the plugins and builtins rules. This causes libintl to be built
      before the plugins.
  * bootstrap:
    + Enabled recursive builds of plugins and builtins.
  * vlc-config.in.in:
    + Fixed a typo.
  * debian/changelog:
    + Next upload will fix bug #199427.

    + Updated to the latest Debian unstable upload.
  * debian/rules:
    + Moved the skins interface into the wxvlc package.
    + Cosmetic fixes.
  * debian/control:
    + Updated the description of the wxvlc package.
  * bootstrap:
    + Put subdirectories of modules/ in SUBDIRS, not DIST_SUBDIRS.
  * Makefile.am:
    + Put modules in SUBDIRS, not DIST_SUBDIRS.
  * .cvsignore:
    + Ignore vlc-config.in.

    + New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
      in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
    + Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
      a lot less hungry now.
    + Ditto for Solaris's sed.
    + Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
  * m4/vlc.m4:
    + New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
      and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
      modules and register their flags.
    + New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
    + Some magic to generate vlc-config.
  * configure.ac:
    + Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
    + Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
  * modules/**/Modules.am:
    + Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.

    due to Debian bug #158383 in gettext (upstream bug).

  * configure.ac:
    + Added curly braces around variables.
    + Got rid of the "x$foo" constructs.
    + Renamed *_plugin conditionals into *_p.
  * debian/changelog:
    + Fixed a duplicate entry.
    + Added an entry for an old Debian upload that fixed #117180.
  * debian/control:
    + Added a build dependency on libimlib2-dev for skins.
  * debian/rules:
    + Activated support for skins.

    bootstrap generates the proper magic for us.

   platforms which need it
 * configure.ac.in: don't use -shared on BeOS

    ourselves.
  * ./bootstrap: "make dist" works again, even if gettext is not present.

    reduce cluttering of the root directory.

  * ./toolbox: the MSVC project file generation no longer depends on Makefile.

    ABOUT-NLS in the tree.
