Re-license almost all of libVLC and libVLCcore to LGPLv2.1+
This move was authorized by the developers, either:
- by e-mail,
- by vote at the VideoLAN Dev Days 2011,
- on the license website,
- in a contract, oral or written.
No objection was raised, so far.

It is possible, that some minor piece of code was badly tracked, for
some reasons (SVN, mainly) or that some small developers did not answer.
However, as an "œuvre collective", defined as in "CPI 113-2 alinéa 3",
and seeing "Cour. Cass. 17 Mai 1978", and seeing that the editor and
the very vast majority of developers have agreed (> 99.99% of the code,
> 99% of developers), we are fine here.
These days the extra vlc revision is an integer (1.1.10.1), not a
letter like in 0.8.6f days
Make PACKAGE_VERSION_* be integer, we don't need them to be strings
PACKAGE_VERSION_EXTRA now represents only this number, and is set to
0 when not used (1.1.11.0 represents 1.1.11)
Add PACKAGE_VERSION_DEV (== "git" or "rc*"), to be sure development
versions are less recent than released versions.
This string is never displayed, it is only tested for nullity
The file format on our servers can use X.Y.Z or X.Y.Z.E
Move cryptography specific functions into their own file, together with
functions downloading public key / signatures
Factorize common code for generating signatures (hash_sha1_from_*)
Remove unused update_WaitDownload (was OSX specific)
* don't compare svn revisions, we don't support binaries compiled from svn.
* compare only the 1st character of the "extra" (the 'd' of "0.8.6d")
* document the status file format
* don't use %as GNU extension with sscanf()
Add OpenPGP code, still unused as there is no download of binaries at the moment
We will need to define (and write) the files (and their location) we will use in the update system:
* We will use a file per arch, which will be signed
* ALL VideoLAN gpg public keys will be stored on http://download.videolan.org/pub/keys/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.asc where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the long id of the key
* Every downloadable file will be signed with gpg --sign --detach --armor
* libvlc sources and plugins now define __LIBVLC__ and headers exported to
plugins (ie, include/vlc_*.h) check for this
* libvlc sources use the value of the "libvlc" component in vlc-config instead
of vlc
* Apply flags directly to "libvlc" in configure.ac - might temporarily break win32 :)
Also, make it clearer what is shared and instance-specific
So,
libvlc_t ==> libvlc_global_t
vlc_t ==> libvlc_int_t (internal instance)
p_object->p_libvlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc_globale
p_object->p_vlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc
VLC_OBJECT_VLC ==> VLC_OBJECT_LIBVLC
And by the way, there is some cleanup required :) (ie, some things are created in the global object instead of the instance-specific one)
to use in interfaces)
The downloadable plugins part still needs some work.
modules/control/rc.c : add function to query updates (mainly used for testing)
modules/gui/wxwidgets/* : update pannel.
