Patch by Glen Gray: Enable keepalive for Kasenna servers, they parse the User Agent string and check for _KA appended to the User Agent name.

Patch by Glen Gray: RTSP keep alive fix. If the server doesn't handle RTCP-RR packets and requires specific GET_PARAMETER commands (such as Kasenna) then the session times out when vlc is paused because the current version only sends the info when Demux() is called. Demux() is only called when data is received. This patch fixes this issue with a boolean that is set during PAUSED state that allows the timer thread to send the GET_PARAMTER messages instead and thus keeping the RTSP session alive.

* backport an adapted version of [23117] aka 'Feed synchro with new ref. point after unexpected discontinuity'

Backport more code about [19128]. (Close the embedded window only when playlist stops on Mac OS X). This part make sure the window won't be animated if it is offscreen.

Mac OS X gui: Backport part of [19115], in order to work around leopard glitches. (quickdraw part ignored for now). (We may need to also back port [19128] "Close the embedded window only when playlist stop.").

activex: fix recursive plugin release, which may cause explorer to crash and opens activex to security exploit as detected by Ricardo Narvaja from Core Security Technologies

fspanel.m:
    - faster hiding of the curser when the panel vanishes [19133]
    - smoother fading [20660]

vout.m:
    - avoid white flashs (10.4+ only)

Note that "hey, it doesn't appear with Float-on-top" isn't fixed yet.

* modules/video_filter/deinterlace.c: backport [22579], use field order (top/bottom) for correct bob/linear deinterlacing.

* modernise the Apple Remote architecture by back-porting an adapted trunk version. This fixes the AR support on Tiger and provides a couple of new features (skipping, better volume control, easy to find fullscreen-mode-toggle). additionally, fixed a nasty bug which prevented proper toggling of the fullscreen mode.
