By the way, alloca() _cannot_ return NULL. It simply crashes if there
is not enough memory.

mingw provides this all for free and is better.

*printf as per MSVCRT is not c99 compliant.  mingw32 provides a set of
replacement functions, but these are buggy in old versions.

Defining __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO causes mingw's stdio to provide a
set of wrappers that use the mingw32 version that gets statically
linked.

Attention needs to be given to contrib too, it is possible for contrib
to expect a c99 *printf and later die.  This patch modifies the conrtib
bootstrap to define the above in CPPFLAGS, however, not all builds
honour CPPFLAGS.

This can be validated by looking for the import from msvcrt:

  $ find vlc-w32/vlc-1.0.0-pre1/ -name '*.dll' -print -exec sh -c \
     'i586-mingw32msvc-nm {} | grep __imp__.*printf' ';'

If all is good, this shouldn't find anything.

This patch *will* break WinCE support.  However, it is semibroken
anyway; better to force it to be fixed completely.

I'll add an option to disable this feature later on

When a channel mask is incomplete, use 'random' position to fill it up.
(It means that the channel position is 'unspecified' and so we have to
choose it ourselve).
It should fix #2618.

Note that the video output core seems to call pf_end while some pictures
are still in use upstream. That will crash. IMHO, this is a libvlc bug,
as the vout plugin cannot know when to release the picture or reallocate
those pictures.

macosx: updated window styles for VLCControllerWindow and VLCEmbeddedWindow based upon a patch by Georg Seifert

Some tweaks to the nib file (so VLCControllerWindow looks all textured again) will be submitted later on.

It should fix #2622 (segfault with vout-filter).

It should fix #2620 (and was not limited to windows only).
