* vlc.ebuild: removed xvid and added the debug USE variable. Also some formatting fixes.

* Add -framework Carbon to the ldflags of the spudec module when Carbon is
  present. freetype-config unfortunatly omits this on MacOSX.

I think I did this correctly, but it might be wise to review this :)

* src/libvlc.h: disabled the encoders config options (encoders are not used anymore, all the encoding is done in the stream output transcode module).
* src/misc/win32_specific.c: added an --high-priority config option on win32 to increase the priority of the process (default enabled for now so the behaviour isn't changed.)

* modules/audio_output/alsa.c: alsa is now the default audio output.
* src/misc/configuration.c: removed unnecessary line.
* modules/gui/skins/parser.*: small cosmetic change.

* added USE mad and libid3tag
* added mp3lame capability to ffmpeg.
* updated wxGTK requirements to 2.4.1

* modules/video_output/directx/events.c: closing the video window doesn't doesn't exit vlc anymore, it just stops the current stream.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: fix for popup menu placement.

* src/playlist/playlist.c: fixed recent playlist breakage.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: enable popup menu support in the "dialogs provider".

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: The wxwindows interface is now a "dialogs provider" module as well as a normal "interface".
   Dialog providers expose an api that allow other modules to use the GUI dialogs the module provides (open dialogs, etc...).
   + misc small enhancements.

* modules/gui/skins/*: completely removed the dependancy on the wxwindows code (which also eliminates the need for the basic_skins module).
   The skins module will now try to load a "dialogs provider" to display the open, messages, file info and preferences dialogs.

    dependencies right.
  * src/stream_output/announce.c: Compilation fix.

    if $FOO contains spaces. Worked around the problem.

    top_srcdir.

    + Fixed Win32 port.
    + Speed optimizations in split().
    + More coding style fixes.

    + Coding style fixes.
    + Use memcpy() instead of for() loops.

    current directory but looked for in the parent directory.

    + New debhelper file.
  * debian/control:
    + Updated debhelper build-dependency to (>= 3.4.4) because we now
      use debian/compat.
    + Use ${misc:Depends} everywhere.

  * configure.ac: Propagate $(top_srcdir) to the vlc-config call.

mozilla/npvlc_rc.rc: added all the missing types from vlcplugin.h

    directory, because that's where Gentoo puts it.

* modules/codec/spudec/spudec.c: oops, proper fix for the proper initialization of the proper iconv handle ;)

* modules/codec/spudec/spudec.c: proper initialization of the iconv handle.

    + Minor indentation fix.
  * toolbox:
    + Exclude vlc_symbols.h and modules_{plugins,builtins}.h from POTFILES.in.
  * po/*:
    + Re-ran toolbox --update po.

    + Prepared my next Debian upload.
  * debian/control:
    + Set policy to 3.6.0. No changes required.
    + Extended the package description.

    + Fixed gcc 3 warnings (type punning).
  * modules/access/mms/mmstu.c:
    + Fixed a gcc 3 warning (long constant).

    instead of the base window, because newer versions of Mozilla select
    ButtonPress for the window it gives us, and XSelectInput only allows
    one client to select this event.

documentation does not include information on which headers each file
includes, since this information isn't correct.

Clarified and doxygenized some of the documentation on subpictures

*  modules/mux/mpeg/ps.c,ps.c: the ps muxer can now create mpeg system (mpeg1) files as well. Also modified the ps muxer to output streams with system headers.

All: My shot at improving subtitle rendering in vlc. Now each vout uses a "text renderer" module to render text on the video when needed. I decieded to make this a module type, because other api's (win32 and macosx) is supposed to do better than freetype under some circumstances.

include/video_output.h: added some members needed by text renderer modules
src/video_output/video_output.c: load and unload text renderer module when needed
src/video_output/video_text.c: implemented some functions to show text on the video
include/osd.h: exported the functions to show text
modules/misc/Modules.am, module/misc/freetype.c: new text renderer module, largly based on the old osdtext module.
modules/video_filter/Modules.am, modules/video_filter/osd_text.c: removed the osdtext module
configure.ac: changes "osdtext" to "freetype" some places
modules/codec/spudec/*: when iconv is available, use it to convert textual subtitles from the encoding given by --sub-encoding to utf8. Use new code to render subtitles
modules/control/lirc/lirc.c: use new code to give feedback on buttons pressed. untested.
modules/demux/util/sub.c: remove all traces of the ugly old osdtext module
modules/misc/dummy/*: added a "text renderer" submodule in the dummy module
src/misc/modules.c: included osd.h as it seems to be needed to export symbols


final notes: you need to give a proper value to --freetype-font. This should be the path to a font file freetype2 can handle (almost any format afaik) with a unicode translation table in it. Windows ttf files will do. In linux at least openoffice distributes some fonts that work. I think macosx and beos also has useable fonts.
