Changes:
* Send a channel-changed event to the frontend when
  receiving the SYNC string from last.fm streaming server.
* Disable mediaLib support by default (the licenses probably
  disallow the distribution of xine binaries built against
  mediaLib, and on non-VIS capable boxes it's probably worse
  than our own code).
* Rename endianness-reading macros so that they don't
  collide with Solaris system macros. BE_/LE_ are now _X_BE_
  and _X_LE_.
* Add an extra function to allow front ends to rename their
  old, badly-named configuration items.
* Various build fixes and cleanups for Solaris, plugin
  dependencies etc.
* Fix some memory leaks in the Vorbis decoder and video
  overlays.
* Fix a problem with the goom plugin which could cause it to
  stop working.
* Clean up "%" unescaping in MRLs; correctly handle "%" in
  DVD and VCD MRLs.
* Fix a crash with "dvb:/".
* DVB subtitle fixes: deadlock prevention, thread leakage,
  spec compliance.
* Allow the DVB input plugin to timeout if it is receiving
  no signal.
* Fix an audio resampling problem which was causing regular
  clicking.
* Fix build with recent glibc and a debugging #define.
  [Bug 1773769]
* Fix handling of multiple MPEG TS audio streams & subtitle
  languages.
* Add colouring for bold & italic in text subtitles.
* Simple scaling of subtitles to fit the frame width
  (intended to cope with common DVB resolutions such as
   544x576).
* Various small video frame-handling bug fixes.
* Add options to control bob deinterlacing in the XxMC video
  output plugin.
