from 0.16 to 0.16.1 before bootstrap (unlike the other builders it doesn't
bootstrap the contribs first)

to autopoint for win32

 - ignore HTTP/0.9 clients instead of deadlocking the connection
 - ignore unknown protocol
 - reject incompatible HTTP & RTSP protocol versions
   (HTTP/2.0 does not exist but RTSP/2.0 is currently draft)

to gettextize (eg. if I was building inside a directory called win32)

cross-compiling under linux. -Im4/ changed to -I m4/

picked up in configure due to bracket in wrong place.

Some stream output guru should really review this.

Unfortunately, this does not really solve the problem as vlc_object_destroy can still return without actually deleting the object in case of a deadlock.
One could argue the deadlock is the problem rather than vlc_object_destroy implementation.

This is basically a hack for systems lacking proper locale setting

And why the heck was this undone in the first place??

Patch by Hannes Domani

Contribs - FLAC: update to v1.2.1. Mingw32 patch is unneeded (upstream merge). A few bugs and crash are fixed, new support for all RIFF/AIFF metadata, including Broadcast Wave Format (BWF).

Contribs: Theora moves from alpha7 to alpha8. New encoder, one patch has gone upstream, and examples can be disabled. A lot of new features are available in the encoder. Postprocessing, anyone ?
