* modules/codec/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: fixed typo.

* modules/codec/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: clean-up for the ffmpeg config options.

* src/misc/variables.c, include/variables.h: first pass at object var inheritance.
* rc/video_output/video_output.c, modules/video_filter/deinterlace/deinterlace.c: fixes to the deinterlace object var.

* src/video_output/video_output.c: new "deinterlace" object variable.
* modules/gui/macosx/prefs.m: compilation fix.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/menus.cpp: use the "deinterlace" object var.
* modules/gui/skins/*: couple of fixes.

* modules/gui/skins/*: compilation fixes.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: fixed the open dialog to switch to the requested file/disc/net section.

 * doc/release-howto.txt: remove outdated info about how to build BeOS
   packages

* configure.ac.in: ffmpeg is now enabled by default. Also got rid of the --intf-win option which was deprecated.

Added option to run vlc as a Qt Embedded Gui Server. Use --qte-guiserver to enable this feature. The default is to run as a normal GuiClient.

  * ./po/en_GB.po: the British translation is up to date.

    default (Closes: #704).

     wait or we will face delay issues as reported in #794. Fix inspired from
     a suggestion by John Michael Zorko.

* modules/demux/mp4/mp4.c: added SVQ1 for the quicktime decoder.
* modules/gui/macosx/macosx.m: typo
* modules/gui/macosx/prefs.m: fix of the module selectors.
* po/nl.po: i've taken a head start on the translations.
* src/libvlc.h: removed unused string RT_PRIORITY_TEXT

  started on. This will help ppl to actually use the thing ;)

    non-PIC ones (Closes Debian bug #194384).

* modules/gui/macosx/vout.m: removed some code that was preventing us from
  using chroma converters.
* modules/codec/quicktime.c:
  - added the video decoder. only works with SVQ3 atm, returns Invalid
    BITMAPHEADER for some reason in all other cases.
  - did some cleaning up. this might just work under Win32 now aswell,
    gibalou will do some testing tomorrow ;)
  - SVQ3 QT degrades faster then the ffmpeg version, but also recovers
    faster. I'm not yet sure which one i prefer.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/streamout.cpp: fixed typo.

* src/libvlc.h: fixed spelling mistake.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/preferences.cpp: allow negative numbers in spinctrls.
* modules/demux/asf,avi,mp4: use p_input->stream.control.b_mute.

 (so stupid: the flag -lavcodec had to be at the *end* of the line !)

* src/audio_output/*, src/input/*: fixed the audio desync option. You can use positive as well as negative values.

* modules/gui/macosx/output.m: removed a debug statement
* modules/gui/macosx/prefs.m: fixed localizations of the prefs panel.

* INSTALL.win32: added a small note about running vlc under the msvc debugger.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: small fixes.
* modules/access/vcd/*, modules/access/cdda.c: re-activated autodetection of vcd and cdda on win32.
* src/misc/cpu.c, src/stream_output/announce.c: msvc fixes.

  version was broken.
* extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: darn, absolute paths.

* modules/codec/quicktime.c: I added all the audio formats I know QT can handle.
  except for mp3 ;)
* modules/codec/ffmpeg: added asv1 (disabled), and enabled IV31 on little endian,
  since the problems with this decoder are endian specific according to it's creator.

*  modules/audio_output/directx.c, modules/audio_output/waveout.c: we destroy the audio-device variable if the probing has failed.

  src/libvlc.c: Added a quicktime_lock on SYS_DARWIN
* ALL: QT on OSX is not threadsafe in certain areas. i have found the proces
  of identifying the right Codec to use for decoding to be one of these areas.
  So when we do this, only one thread at a time can use QT.
  Watching QT trailers is doable now, as soon as ffmpeg fix their altivec optimizations again ;)

* modules/gui/skins/src/vlcproc.cpp: fixed yesterday's breakage.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/menus.cpp: fixes for menu auto-generation.
* src/video_output/video_output.c: added a "fullscreen" object variable.
* modules/video_output/directx/*: added an always-on-top object variable and modified to take into account the fullscreen object variable.
