xine-lib/src/xine-utils, branch 1-rc3a

Win32 mega update:

2003-12-26T18:37:58+00:00

 - external ffmpeg (with some patches) built by MINGW works, wow!
 - cleanups (only one definition file for all plugins)
 - working release build target
Notes to hybrid MINGW/MSVC build:
 - CVS version of ffmpeg is compiled by MINGW (small patch for compilation
   ffmpeg under MINGW, second for disabling flush because it crashes under
   windows)
 - libxine + xineui compiled by MSVC, additional patch into header files
   of ffmpeg is needed - export all data with '__declspec(dllimport)'

Ooops, not even an editor with brace highlighting can compensate my faults

the access() check is wrong, since R_OK & W_OK & X_OK is always 0, so we

2003-12-24T15:48:24+00:00

are testing for nothing; additionally, access() checks against real UID,
but we actually want to check against effective UID
=> using open() is more straightforward.

if gcc knows that xine_xmalloc() behaves like malloc(), some more

2003-12-21T14:14:39+00:00

aliasing assumptions can be made (malloc()-returned pointers never alias
anything), which can leed to further optimizations

Update win32 MSVC build:

2003-12-13T11:35:07+00:00

  * internal names cleanup
  * http input plugin uses http_helper.c
  * fix change in audio_directx
  * MSVC stoped compile xineui because of 'this', mysterious
  * change non-constand array lengths to malloc/free,
    it good for such old compilers as my MSVC 6.0
  * change lprintf macro for MSVC to compile again
    (I don't know, how use variable number of macro arguments  in MSVC...)
  * merge compiling of xine-utils and xine-engine

no need to mallocing (and never freeing) for putenv() calls.
