* Show the true volume range (0-400%) instead of 0-200%. The wxwidgets volume control goes only halfway i believe. This shouldn't change any behaviour, it should just change the value that is represented to the USER. refs #250

* finally use the iTunes volumeslider knob that we have had since 0.7.0 but which I never cared to enable. closes #209

with --enable-shared-libvlc

- pre-create 'width' and 'height' in libvlc so that the ActiveX plugin can set them before a vout is created. this prevents the initial viewport resizing when playing the first target

all: reworked ActiveX plugin, which now works properly  with .NET (tested with Visual Basic Express 2005)
     added persistent properties such as MRL, AutoPlay, AutoLoop which allows a user to play a default target
     without programming.

* use autoconf 2.59 instead of 2.57, since bootstrap needs it now -- this breaks the compilation on BeOS, but there is no way to prevent that except making bootstrap autoconf 2.57 - compatible again

you watch the playlist when it is called but i can't find what's wrong.

  I said "experimental". I meant it.
  Developers might try --enable-shared-libvlc
- remove autom4te*.cache on bootstrap
  (some customized autoconf add their version number)
- some clean up
