* telnet interface and VLM ( VideoLAN (media) manager):

    VLM is a little media manager. It is designed to launch several souts
    with a unique VLC. It is a kind of "server playlist". For now, it is
    only usable with the little telnet interface I wrote. The features are:
     - complete and barely coherent command line set for media setup and
       control
     - multiple input list by media (like a playlist)
     - loop by media
     - load/save config file (human readable)
     - script implementation (for scheduling, for example)
    If you want to test it, launch VLC with -I telnet, and type "help".
    Beware of the type of the media: vod or broadcast. vod will be used
    later.
     TODO:
      - rewrite the telnet interface (beurk)
      - change error message system and create a http interface for VLM
      - implement RTSP clients administration (with vod medias)
      - write a complete documentation...
