* DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
  * Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
    and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
  * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
    threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
    spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
  * Makefile optimizations.
  * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.

that there are free vectors again

  * Exported the CSS part of the dvd plugin into a library.

place

*send escape packet when changing title, not to be stuck in some
decoder.

*the position in the title is now resetted when we change title to
prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end

*fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long title that displayed chapter 0.

*added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is
ac3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
audio.

*cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.

Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
Untested with 5-ways LPCM streams.

* Check that OS support SSE optimization for PIII (to avoid illegal hardware instruction on Linux 2.2.x)

time we restart the synchro (for scr discontinuity for instance)

*In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the scr are not continuous
(instead of each cell)

*Try to improve ac3 spdif to prevent from desynchronization.

  * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.
  * Compilation fix in message queue mode.

  * Another FreeBSD compilation fix.

  * SDL compilation fix for FreeBSD.
  * Fixed compilation of motion modules as plugins.

  * Applied old FreeBSD patch for dvd input by German Tischler.
  * Found what was causing the slowdowns: a namespace collision. Put all
    plugins into builtins again.

  * Put most builtins in plugins again due to performances issues (more
    about this in a forthcoming post here).
  * Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
  * Moved the null plugin together with the dummy one.
  * Added new dummy input plugin.

   More on the dummy input plugin: we'll use it to insert commands in
  the playlist. Currently implemented are the "quit" and "pause" functions,
  here are examples on how they are used:

    vlc file.mpeg vlc:quit                # exit after file.mpeg has been read.

    vlc file1.mpeg vlc:pause:3 file2.mpeg # pause 3 seconds before playing
                                          # the next file.

   From now we can more efficiently benchmark vlc. For instance, to test
  the video output changes I am doing, I use such a command:

    time vlc -I dummy --noaudio file.mpeg vlc:quit

   Future extentions might include more interesting stuff like "switch
  to full screen", "repeat next file 3 times", "switch to SDL video
  output"...

  * Updated things and stuff for 0.2.80 release.

  * Various little fixes
   - BeOS interface compilation fix by Rene Gollent.
   - DirectX plugin compilation fix by Gildas Bazin.
   - removed %ebx spill in the iMDCT plugins.

Change to the set out of the BeOS code to
allow more logical updates.

allow more logical updates.

  * Moved modules_builtins.h.in into src/misc. Please remove
    include/modules_builtins.h in your local tree.

  * DirectX plugin by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

    Notes: o I called it 'directx' instead of 'windx' because it
             made a lot more sense to me.
           o Completely untested. I didn't manage to compile it yet.
           o Code in vout_directx.c will go through a big rewrite when
             vout 4 is finished. Xav is already working on this.

*fixed a lock issue in the interface introduced in my last commit

  * Win32 plugin support by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

  * BeOS fixes. renamed iovec.h to input_iovec.h because of namespace issues.

  * miscellaneous Win32 fixes by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>, sorry
    for the 2 weeks delay.

  * Win2000 DVD input by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

  * Applied patch from Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net> to compile
    vlc with MS and Intel C/C++ compilers.

-Fixed some bugs in interface (language menus in ts, misnamed fields)

-Play/Stop work in network mode to start/stop decoding of the stream

I have a segfault in imdct_3dn(93). But I can't underdand assembly.

  * Fixed a bug introduced in my previous commit which broke DVD input.

  * Hrmpf. Forgot the most important file.

  * Fixed the BeOS compile typo.
  * The ALSA plugin is back.
  * A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
    drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
    be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
     a) we should less and less rely on those functions
     b) no plugin code modification was needed

   The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
   I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.

-Bugfix in the interface to access the network specific features.

-Some base of synchro in ac3 spdif

  * Added a wrapper for readv() on platforms which don't support it. The
    network support now compiles under Win32, but still doesn't work, the
    select in plugins/mpeg/input_ts.c never returns any data.

    Is there anything like strace(1) under Win32 to debug this ?

It compiles under Linux and Win32 (yeeaaahaaa, haven't broken anything
:-))
(added the WinSock library initialization and cleanup)
Could someone test if it does really function ?

  * Of course my Win32 patch broke the Un*x version.

  * Forgot a little #ifdef, sorry.

  * Win32 compilation fixes, esp. the MAC retrieval.

  * Fixed my latest BeOS support breakage.

  * Fixed a warning for *BSD compilation.
  * Fixed a typo in yesterday's Darwin ioctl fixes.
  * Patch by Eugenio so that the OS X interface and video output handle the
    aout and vout banks.

  * Forgot a file for BeOS.

  OS X fixes:

  * Applied Eugenio's fix to the DVDioctl driver. I didn't test it, but
    it should not hang the kernel anymore.

  * Ported most dvd_ioctl.c functions to the DVDioctl driver: ReportAgid,
    ReportChallenge, ReportKey1, ReportASF, InvalidateAgid, SendChallenge,
    SendKey2. They should comply with the "Mt. Fuji Commands for Multimedia
    Devices" paper.

    Last remaining problem: ReadCopyright and ReadKey. The version of
 Darwin I have here only has reportKey() and sendKey() functions in
 the IODVDBlockStorageDevice class (pages 413 and 449 of the Mt. Fuji
 paper), but we also need the READ_STRUCTURE (page 357) which I couldn't
 find anywhere in the kernel headers. Either I missed it, or we'll have
 to wait for Apple to implement it (or maybe we can emulate this command
 with some other IOKit commands).
