src/libvlc.c,include/vlc/vlc.h, include/variables.h: added a new a API to libvlc called VLC_VariableType, this API allows to retrieve the type of a VLC variable. this API is very useful for binding with highlevel languages, such as javascript, VBScript, etc... which allow for weakly typed variables such as Javascript. in order to support the VLC_VariableType API, i've had to move the variable type definitions from variables.h to vlc/vlc.h

vlccontrol.cpp, axvlc.idl, axvlc.tlb, axvlc_idl.h: added a getVariable and setVariable to provide support for VLC_GetVariable and VLC_SetVariable respectively,and requires the new VLC_VariableType API.

main.cpp, viewobject.h, viewobject.cpp: support for advise on viewobject

compile gpg-error without nls support because it isn't really used by VLC and it complicates the contrib system. (this should fix the OSX 10.2 compile). Also switch back to ffmpeg CVS

When we end the feature freeze, we'll have to complete the show command to
show (for example) the number of clients connected

Closes #48
Closes Debian #306110

* modules/codec/ffmpeg/*, modules/stream_out/switcher.c: fix compilation with new ffmpeg versions (use native timebase).

* there seem to be problems with SourceForge's heanet-mirror, using switch (located in CH) instead now

* changed the download-location of libtheora to our server since their own refuses to work once again

   ctrl-s which is also used for changing skins)

(can only happens if we're using SSL and it is a not an error situation)

* Fixes initialization when a preset is saved in the prefs or provided from command line. Could be cleaner, but it seems at least to work.
