Summary: configure script fails to find Xv extension

Initial Comment:
The configure script looks for Xv both in static and shared 
library. As of X.org R6.7, libXv.a and libXvMc.a do not exist, 
only libXv.so and libXvMc.so. 
 
Therefore configure finds the shared libraries, but does not 
enable compile the xineplug_vo_out_xv.so plugin anyway 
(config.h ends up with #undef HAVE_XV, whereas the test 
for Xv succeeded). 
 
I suspect an error in configure.ac file, that *requires* static 
libraries instead of *preferring* them to the shared 
libraries. 
 
I fixed configure.ac to always use shared Xv libraries, and 
the xine library was successfully build with Xv support (and 
it works nice after with xine-ui).

Is this bug still valid? I think current xine-lib versions should compile  
fine with Xorg, since a lot of people are already using it.

I encountered a similar problem regarding the vldXVMC and
xxmc plugin extensions. The problem was caused because the
compile  and preprocessor commands contained in the
variables $ac_compile and $ac_cpp did not include the X11
include path. Adding -I/usr/X11R6/include where these
commands where invoked for checking xvmc and xxmc solved the
problem.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add the X11 include path to
global CFLAGS ? 

Best Regards

I am currently using Xorg instead of Xfree and I am also 
getting the problem of xine-lib not compiling in the Xv 
extension. I have made an attempt to hack the configure.ac 
script but I was unable to succeed in correctly fixing the 
script. At this point I am unable to use xine to view any 
video. Anyone that has any ideas about how to fix this 
problem related to xorg (xine worked for me under xfree) 
please post attatchments to this bug report.
