allows to call vlc_readdir_wrapper("\\") and get a list of Windows drives.
   This is a bit kludgy but so convenient to change drives under Windows.
 * modules/control/http: Adapted to use vlc_readdir_wrapper in foreach
   directory. Thou shalt escape all exported functions with E_() to avoid
   potential namespace collisions !
 * po: Re-run make update-po since POTFILES.in has changed.

    variable.

* Show the true volume range (0-400%) instead of 0-200%. The wxwidgets volume control goes only halfway i believe. This shouldn't change any behaviour, it should just change the value that is represented to the USER. refs #250

* finally use the iTunes volumeslider knob that we have had since 0.7.0 but which I never cared to enable. closes #209

with --enable-shared-libvlc

- pre-create 'width' and 'height' in libvlc so that the ActiveX plugin can set them before a vout is created. this prevents the initial viewport resizing when playing the first target

all: reworked ActiveX plugin, which now works properly  with .NET (tested with Visual Basic Express 2005)
     added persistent properties such as MRL, AutoPlay, AutoLoop which allows a user to play a default target
     without programming.

* use autoconf 2.59 instead of 2.57, since bootstrap needs it now -- this breaks the compilation on BeOS, but there is no way to prevent that except making bootstrap autoconf 2.57 - compatible again
