We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is
actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled
libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):

All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files
and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following
command:
tar xjvf contrib-20040510-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 -C /
tar xjvf contrib-20040902-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 -C /
