- the display of meta information is completely implemented and functional
- the tree-view in the "Advanced Info" tab is currently broken due to bad casting (I got no idea why yet, because I didn't touch it..)
- the statistics tab isn't implemented yet

Comments on the design and the implementation are welcome. If this re-design is too unstable for 0.8.5, I will withdraw it after branching.

* MainMenu.nib, playlist.m: use NSSearchField instead of NSTextField, so we don't need to replace it manually anymore. This breaks the 10.2-compatibility. (refs #189)

* update.m: use mtime() instead of NSCalenderDate for the time-stamp

* sfilters.m: fixed 2 compilation warnings (corrected UTF8String to char casting)

 - Don't link builtins against anything (dependencies are linked in libvlc)
 - Don't mangle name of underlying libraries

* don't store the temp release note in the user's Caches-folder, but in /tmp. Renamed it to vlc_releasenote_%@.tmp, whereas %@ is a timestamp (%m-%d-%y--%I.%M.%S.%F)
* cleanup of the source

"Subject: [vlc-devel] Additional x264 options/unification

Patch for unification and addition of several x264 options (using x264          
commandline interface as reference):                                            
                                                                                
8x8dct, asm, bime, chroma-me, chroma-qp-offset, cplxblur, direct,               
ipratio, nr, pbratio, qblur, qcomp, qpstep, verbose. Changed (no-)psnr,         
(no-)b-adapt, (no-)fast-pskip to similar usage as (no-)cabac. Deprecated        
options in favor of x264 cli equivalents (subpel -> subme, frameref ->          
ref, etc.) for unification.                                                     
                                                                                
Improved order of adding partitions in analyse modes as suggested by            
Pengvado (#x264): i4x4,p8x8,i8x8+8x8dct,b8x8,p4x4 (at low bitrate i8x8          
would be more important than i4x4 though). Using i8x8 results in a "High        
Profile" setting (not all decoders seem to support that). i8x8 requires         
8x8dct which is now a seperate option (default disabled)."

* removed a crasher from interaction.m

Note: the progress-window used to show the progress is quite hacky at the moment and will be replaced through a good implementation once the interaction-core is finished.

This is not 100% tested, but only compared against similar situations.

* trackID changes for the VLC rtsp server as suggested by Leonardo ... <leonardo_c at libero dot it>.
  - apparently DSS is casesensitive on trackID.

 - added him to THANKS as well.

* added 5:4 aspect/crop ration for high quality PAL TV out (720x576 display
resolution) and 1280x1024 LCD panels
