Object::connect: Parentheses expected, signal QTimer::timeout

* Add a CONNECT macro for simple signal->slot connections 
* Untested save support in simple preferences

(untested)

* Remove i18n_string stuff

Provide trivial work-around for users of obsolete autoconf

- configure.ac: autoconf 2.59c is not yet supported in Cygwin, added Wine support for ActiveX plugin

    (fixed more coding style, and resolved a conflict I introduced)

(you don't expect me to actual try to compile VLC on puma.cti.ecp.fr, do you?)

* Contribs: change gz => bz2 for autoconf package

    in the configure script.

* Remove the l10n stuff, we'll handle it through po4a
* Add the ability to put several profiles in a file
* Split out the name of the elements
* Remove the prefix
Schema is not yet up-to-date.

* remove non-committed files from target to make buildbot happy. You obviously need to restore this to get a panel with icons

Add the qtu (Qt To Utf8) and qta (Qt To Ascii) macros

vout-filter is now part of the video-filter option. (video output core still needs to be fixed) Based on patch by hobophobe on IRC.

* removed some further hangover from the original patch and finally added embeddedWindow to the xcode project
