Else there is no way to properly trigger meta preparsing from libvlc.

The included share folder was cut down to aclocal, autoconf, automake, gettext and libtool. Additionally, the gecko-sdk is downloaded and installed separately now. This vastly speeds up the installation process.

VlcManager and VarManager dependents on each other (a design problem)
Anyway, it is a bad idea to use instance() on any manager when deallocating ressources
as it can start anew a manager already deallocated.
Better use global variables in p_sys and act accordingly.

And update NEWS to show latest improvements of avcodec. Next contribs
on mac and Windows should have AMR working

We can come out of still mode by user actions, and so
the timer need to be reset in DVDNAV_BLOCK_OK.

It should fix subtitle perfs under windows.

This should fix LP#525278.

Regression from the ASX ad unskipping stuff

...so allow decimal values.

when using set_text on an image widget, vlc crashes
(trying to unlock when no lock is held)

Recent change in core(audio) now requires playlist to be passed as object
so that findAout can success (based on "find-input-callback" inheritance)

This is needed to protect the Xlib internal state. Xlib may still be
used by user interface thread, the GLX video output thread(s) and
PulseAudio -audio thread- while it initializes.

Fortunately, we do not need to lock X11 displays as every thread uses
its own. Hopefully Xlib is not buggy in that respect, but I am not so
sure :(

This should fix LP #419915.

This reverts commit 3dd62c35.

Suppress VLC media player <version> message if --quiet is passed as
first argument. Feel free to revert if this is an issue.
