Since none of our otehr threads exist at the end, this is safe.

(otherwise we would much more serious problems than the update checker)

config_PutPsz() and var_SetString() are calling strdup() internally.

This doesn't mean I don't share the opinion, but let's try to ease the work for packagers that get bugs on that part.
And of course VLC + debian-multimedia in debian is still completly broken...

Contrary to commit 719f12a6 log, input_GetItem() does not check for a
lock on the input. There may be need for locking here(?), but taking the
object lock would definitely not help, as this was the only place is the
entire tree using the generic object lock on an input object.

 - use automatic structure instead of heap
 - retain the playlist lock only while needed

By the way:
 - the OSX implementation seemed buggy w.r.t. fullscreen,
 - the X11 implementation seemed buggy w.r.t. both vout_window and events,
 - the OMAPFB implementation was bogus.

as discussed^Wmonologued on the mailing list.

...and express the rest in terms of that.
Also small documentation fixes and VLC_UNUSED() instead of (void).
