* First try for IPv6 support on Win32. This hasn't been tested so it
  might not work! To compile this stuff you need a mingw compiler with
  w32api-1.3.

The win32 code uses the getaddrinfo function because inet_pton is
supposed to be deprecated and not supported by Microsoft. gethostbyname2
isn't supported as well. Maybe we could try to unify the ipv6 plugin and
have all the ports use getaddrinfo ? (I didn't dare to do it because I
don't want to break anything before a release ;-)

  * ./plugins/dummy/vout_dummy.c: the dummy vout plugin now uses vlc's
    vout_AllocatePicture instead of its own.
  * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: added YUY2 in vout_AllocatePicture.

* Added an option to disable the dynamic range compression.

    rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
    a complete rebuild.

Due to existing bug in some Chroma's the Overlay does not work for nVidia
cards.  Sorry.

    the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
    any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
    this is resolved.

* We now use real-time threads ;
* Worked around a bug when seeking ;
All :
* Removed my patch to the video output since it causes problems for some
  people.

* fixed a segfault I introduced lately in gtk_preferences.

    a disc to eject.

    * plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now uses frequency and
                     symbol rates default values

not complete.

* on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.

* filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead of p_data_orig.
* updated MSVC++ project.
* small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in main.c.

* on win32 the dummy interface plugin will open a dos command box. With
this fix, vlc should never fail silently and leave a ghost process
running in the background when there isn't any working GUI plugin.

* moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct options to the mpeg_vdec plugin
* added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions to main.c
* on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:

Could anyone finish the *_LONGTEXT descriptions in main.c. There aren't
that many left right now, just the ones I didn't really know what to do
with.
If someone also wants to review and change the already existing
*_LONGTEXT descriptions, he is welcome as well because there are not
really high quality descriptions :(

* Updated documentation.

* updated INSTALL.win32
* a little bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin

  Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>

    and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).

* fixed deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c

* fixed a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
   class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
   resources.

* updated the MSVC++ project files and added support for dirent (vlc compiled
   with msvc can now load plugins - even compiled with mingw).
* small portability fixes.

* Dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
