about 2000 lines of code.

    I could not test everything on every architecture, so please report
    any module breakage (especially on BeOS, OSX and QNX).

* include/vlc_threads.h,include/main.h,src/misc/threads.c,src/misc/win32_specific.c:
reverted Win32 pthread implementation to the old code. Fixed vlc_cond_broadcast() for
WinNT/2K/XP. Additional vlc_cond_* implementations for Win9x.
* src/libvlc.h: renamed --fast_pthread option into --fast-mutex. Added a
--win9x-cv-method option to choose which vlc_cond_* implementation we want on Win9x.

  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
    its purpose.
  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
  * include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
    always valid.

  * ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
    vlc --help for more information.

  * include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
    (thanks fenrir for convincing me).
  * ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.
  * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: removed the last remaining call to
    input_ChangeES.

   Things I'm not sure about and need comments:
    - I used "mpga" and "mpgv" for MPEG (1+2) audio and video fourcc values.
    - I also introduced "spu ", "lpcm" and "ac3 ".
    - I removed for instance "MP4_GetCodec" because it wasn't really
      used except for the description string. I hope this change did not
      break anything really important.
    - fenrir, I must have broken a lot of things you wrote. Sorry in advance.

    extra plugin location.
  * ./plugins/text/rc.c: if stdin/stdout are not connected to a TTY, we
    don't launch the rc interface.
  * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compilation warning.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: cosmetic enhancements in the message output.

* ./include/configuration.h: renamed MODULE_CONFIG_* macros into
CONFIG_*.
* ./include/configuration.h, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c,
./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c,
./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: added an ADD_STRING_FROM_LIST()
configuration macro.
* ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
* ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.

  * ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
    a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_control.c, plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: most controls such
    as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
    workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
  * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
    appropriate properties, we use it.

  * ./bootstrap.sh, ./src/libvlc.h, ./po/*: fixed bootstrap.sh so that it does
    not include CVS Id lines in automatically created files.

   As for video output 4, this breaks almost everything, but I'll slowly
  do what remains to be fixed during the weekend.

   Changes in vlc:
   ===============

  * vlc is now a very small program (20 lines) which uses the libvlc API;
   it is quite simple for the moment but can be extended in the future.

  * interfaces, decoders, video outputs, etc. are now almost the same
   objects (yes, I know, this is C++ redone in C) and are structured in
   a tree. More about this later, but basically it allows the following
   nice features:
    - several interfaces
    - several playlists with several outputs
    - input plugins spawning helper interfaces (will be used for DVD menus)
    - anything spawning anything; I swear there are useful uses for this!

  * libvlc can be used in other programs; I'm currently writing a Mozilla
   plugin for my employer.

   Things currently broken:
   ========================

  * most interfaces, most ports
  * the playlist handling (almost finished rewriting this though). This means
   no file can be played from the GUI, you need to use the commandline. This
   also means it segfaults at EOF, when exiting the program, and it sometimes
   refuses to open a file when asked to.
