Ported from libxine.

In some cases (eg. when building binary packages) one only needs libvlc
and libvlc-control and does not wish to build or install VLC binaries.
This --disable-vlc flag saves us from manually removing the unwanted
binaries after "make install".

auhal: Fix kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceIsAlive check (vlc_bool_t size has changed and doesn't match anymore the needed param size for kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceIsAlive).

Revert "Fix compilation, by "fixing" VLC_PUBLIC_API." as the compilation breakage on Qt4 was obviously a typo in 461e426f.

This reverts commit 82d39c38.

Revert "VLC_PUBLIC_API needs extern "C" on windows/c++ too."

This reverts commit 4af174fc.

Revert "Mark VLC_PUBLIC_API as extern "C" when using C++."

This reverts commit 879e3eb2.

Don't publish the default object destructor. (VLC_PUBLIC_API is broken)

control/media_instance.c: Fix libvlc_media_instance_new_from_input_thread() now that input refcounting is fixed.

Patch contributed by dkl0

vlm: Don't automatically detach in vlm_Delete if not needed, this will be done at destroy time if needed (This should fix some rare bug).

(funman removed m3u-extvlcopt a few days ago).

In by far the overwhelming majority of cases, the user would not know
how to determine the correct answer to the security prompt (did you
ever compare SSL error handling in IE6 and IE7?). Since the trust value
is now determined programatically, this would seem to mostly help users
shoot themselves in the foot.

--security-policy is also broken when using --playlist-enqueue: imagine
you are running VLC with no security, and then your browser enqueues an
M3U from some nasty webserver... fireworks.

Wrappers around VLC really should NOT use M3U files if they need to
tweak certain options (e.g. --sout). Global options can simply be set
the normal way from the command line (e.g.: vlc --sout '#std{...}').
Per-item options can be set using the colon notation. Multiple items
should be expanded on the command line in the right order, rather than
written to a M3U file. Alternative, IPC interfaces could be used
(single instance + playlist enqueue, RC interface, DBus interface...)
or language bindings.

*** Important note ***
Web browser plugins are still in need of fixing. I suppose
libvlc-control should be extented to support playlist item trust.

Feel free to revert and do something else if you have a _better_ idea.

fixes for libvlc medialistplayer_play_item and medialistplayer_play_item_at_index - medialistplayer_play is still out of order

on't forget to do it when you delete files else it breaks make dist

Don't use an object after releasing it

This restores the ABI. It also avoids nasty issues with determining
what a native boolean is from language bindings.
