- Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
    code for a C function or variable.
    GCC for Win32 normally prepends an underscore to the name of a
    C function or variable, and the inline assembler code was using the
    name without the underscore so we had undefined symbols in some
    modules.
- Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.

- a few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
- removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
    this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.

video streams at the moment.

- Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
    and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful
    on Win32.
- On Win32, vlc now has an icon associated to the .exe file, and is a full
    GUI application (you don't have this annoying dos command box anymore)
- Added INSTALL-win32.txt for specific details to the Win32 port.

I've tested these changes on Win32 and Linux, let's hope I didn't break
  vlc for other platforms.

  * Compile fix for newer versions of MacOS X by Colin Simmonds
    <colin_simmonds@Mac.lover.org>.
  * Additional MacOS X DVD ioctl work by Eugenio Jarosiewicz
    <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.

  * Win32 network support by Boris Dor�s <babal@via.ecp.fr>.

  * Fixed an alignment issue in the ifo parser. The Matrix problem should
    be solved.
  * Minor cosmetic fixes and warning removals here and there.

  * FreeBSD (and probably QNX) shared memory handling fix.

  * First libdvdcss version

Enable/disable controls depending on what is in the playlist.

  * Unrolled two loops in dvd_netlist.c to prevent flooding.
  * DVD input stuttering fix by Jon Lech Johansen.

  * Added gprof profiling support with --enable-profiling.

    It works at last! configure with --enable-profiling, build, run
 vlc (you may want to add --noaudio, it currently segfaults with sound
 here) and launch "gprof vlc" when finished.

    To make gprof work with multithreaded programs, one needs to set the
 internal ITIMER_PROF timer for each new thread launched. I did this
 through a wrapper in vlc_thread_create (see include/threads.h).

  * Fully working Windows DVD ioctl support by Jon Lech Johansen.
  * Usual weekly ChangeLog mass-update.

  * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
  * Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
    and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
  * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
    threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
    spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
  * Makefile optimizations.
  * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.

that there are free vectors again

  * Exported the CSS part of the dvd plugin into a library.

place

*send escape packet when changing title, not to be stuck in some
decoder.

*the position in the title is now resetted when we change title to
prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end

*fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long title that displayed chapter 0.

*added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is
ac3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
audio.

*cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.

Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
Untested with 5-ways LPCM streams.

* Check that OS support SSE optimization for PIII (to avoid illegal hardware instruction on Linux 2.2.x)

time we restart the synchro (for scr discontinuity for instance)

*In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the scr are not continuous
(instead of each cell)

*Try to improve ac3 spdif to prevent from desynchronization.

  * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.
  * Compilation fix in message queue mode.

  * Another FreeBSD compilation fix.

  * SDL compilation fix for FreeBSD.
  * Fixed compilation of motion modules as plugins.

  * Applied old FreeBSD patch for dvd input by German Tischler.
  * Found what was causing the slowdowns: a namespace collision. Put all
    plugins into builtins again.

  * Put most builtins in plugins again due to performances issues (more
    about this in a forthcoming post here).
  * Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
  * Moved the null plugin together with the dummy one.
  * Added new dummy input plugin.

   More on the dummy input plugin: we'll use it to insert commands in
  the playlist. Currently implemented are the "quit" and "pause" functions,
  here are examples on how they are used:

    vlc file.mpeg vlc:quit                # exit after file.mpeg has been read.

    vlc file1.mpeg vlc:pause:3 file2.mpeg # pause 3 seconds before playing
                                          # the next file.

   From now we can more efficiently benchmark vlc. For instance, to test
  the video output changes I am doing, I use such a command:

    time vlc -I dummy --noaudio file.mpeg vlc:quit

   Future extentions might include more interesting stuff like "switch
  to full screen", "repeat next file 3 times", "switch to SDL video
  output"...

  * Updated things and stuff for 0.2.80 release.

  * Various little fixes
   - BeOS interface compilation fix by Rene Gollent.
   - DirectX plugin compilation fix by Gildas Bazin.
   - removed %ebx spill in the iMDCT plugins.

Change to the set out of the BeOS code to
allow more logical updates.

allow more logical updates.

  * Moved modules_builtins.h.in into src/misc. Please remove
    include/modules_builtins.h in your local tree.

  * DirectX plugin by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

    Notes: o I called it 'directx' instead of 'windx' because it
             made a lot more sense to me.
           o Completely untested. I didn't manage to compile it yet.
           o Code in vout_directx.c will go through a big rewrite when
             vout 4 is finished. Xav is already working on this.

*fixed a lock issue in the interface introduced in my last commit

  * Win32 plugin support by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

  * BeOS fixes. renamed iovec.h to input_iovec.h because of namespace issues.

  * miscellaneous Win32 fixes by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>, sorry
    for the 2 weeks delay.

  * Win2000 DVD input by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

  * Applied patch from Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net> to compile
    vlc with MS and Intel C/C++ compilers.
