- The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.

    ( xvideo, x11 and dsp plugins are not enabled by default for win32,
      plus a few other Win32 cosmetic changes )
- Updated the INSTALL-win32.txt file.

(Let's hope I didn't break anything ;-)

Configuring VideoLAN
====================
- cross-compiling with mingw32:
You need to download the linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.
(for Debian GNU/Linux users, there is a mingw32 package)
You must also not forget to install some extra header files and libraries if
you want to build some plugins like DirectX, GTK or SDL.
A typical way to configure vlc is:
- compiling natively on Windoze:
[coming soon (investigating a combination of cygwin+mingw32)]
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-dsp --disable-sdl \
--with-directx=/usr/local/cross-compile/i386-mingw32msvc
Configuring the build
=====================
A typical way to configure the build process of vlc is to use the
`./configure' script.
See `./configure --help' for more information.
To cross-compile for the Win32 platform using mingw32:
For example if you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something
along those lines:
make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc \
RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres \
./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc \
--target=i386-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux --disable-dsp \
--disable-x11 --disable-xvideo
make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc \
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc \
--build=i386-linux --with-gtk-config-path=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin \
--with-sdl-config-path=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin
./configure uses the 'gtk-config' and 'sdl-config' scripts and unfortunately,
when cross-compiling you have to tell ./configure where to find them.
You have two choices for this, you can either add the path to these files at
the beginning of your PATH variable. Or you can use the
'--with-gtk/sdl-config-path' option.
(by the way, you may have to create a gtk-config script yourself or modify
the one from your linux distro)
If you are cross-compiling using the package provided by
http://www.libsdl.org/Xmingw32/, you can use something along those lines:
make distclean ; PATH=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin:/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH \
./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc \
--target=i386-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux
