activex: when linking against the shared lib DLL, it looks like the linker is picking the DLL name from inside the file, rather than the filename itself. in most cases, this is not a problem, as both are usually the same. Unfortunately, since libtool has a bug on cygwin, whereby the ouput name is libvlc.dll.exe rather than libvlc.dll, the wrong name 'libvlc.dll.exe' is used by the linker rather than the corrected filename. Using the import lib libvlc.dll.a instead fixes that problem. the proper fix should probably a patch to libtool

Don't install mozilla plugin in recommended/default settings on windows. The NSIS stuff needs to be backported to 0.8.6 before we release (and tested). Could someone do that please?

Fix searching in tree playlists (doesn't hide a node's children if the children match but the node doesn't). Thanks to zorglub for the fix.

* objects.c: some more vars command stuff

* Added a minimal streaming feature

Sync default options in NSIS installer with recommended preset. I still don't like installing the activex and mozilla plugins by default as they often override other plugins and make it impossible to view videos on some/many websites.

Fix [17577]. Removing 200 lines of code is nice. Replacing them with lines that does the same thing as before is better.
