* modules/gui/skins: got rid of init_lock and init_cond which aren't needed if you use vlc_thread_ready().
   started to implement X11Region and integrated the wxWindows dialogs.
* configure.ac.in: the X11 skins are the default ones when you use --enable-skins. To select the GTK2 version, you also need to use --with-gtk2-skins.

* modules/video_filter/crop.c: clarified the use of crop. someone please
  check, i'm not entirely sure this is correct. Actually i think we should
  split this up in more then one config item, for GUI preferences clarity.
  Something like crop-width, crop-height, crop-h-offset, crop-v-offset, or
  like ffmpeg has which uses left, right, top and bottom offsets.

* modules/gui/macosx/output.m:
  - changed the textfields for bitrate into comboboxes with suggested values
    identical to the ones in wxwindows intf.
  - changed "bitrate (bps)" into "bitrate (kb/s)
* modules/gui/macosx/prefs.?:
  - update the current view when advanced is changed.
  - module_lists now use the description strings.
  - always wraptext on tooltips. Currently japanese language is breaking.
  - we now have sliders for int/float config options with ranges.
  - fixed a warning message about an un-init'ed module_t.
* modules/video_filter/adjust.c:
  - added the ranges to the description strings of the config options.
  - blur-factor now uses a range as according to it's description string
    it already should have used this.

   since the gettext behaviour changed

   platforms which need it
 * configure.ac.in: don't use -shared on BeOS

* configure.ac.in, modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: fixed configure check for the Xinerama extension.

* modules/video_output/x11/*, configure.ac.in: Xinerama support remotely based from an old patch by Xavier Maillard.

  parse_sap returns the SAP header length
  parse_sdp only parse the SDP payload
  note that VLC will discard messages from the old miniSAP-server
  (You have to use CVS version of miniSAP-server)
  (Messages from the new miniSAP-server will be discarded with old VLC)

enabled version of gettext. (patch courtesy of the DJ)

  * added a BBox around each panel (looks nicer)
  * now use BSliders for {integer,float}_with_range

under www.videolan.org/doc/faq/

* src/video_output/video_output.c, modules/video_output/directx/*, modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: fullscreen state is now attached to the input, so it will be remembered even if the vout is restarted (switching filters, dvd menus, etc...).
* modules/video_filter/deinterlace/deinterlace.c: small change.

* 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.
