Changes:
* Security fixes:  
  - Array Indexing Vulnerability in sdpplin_parse(). (CVE-2008-0073)  
* Reworked the plugin directory naming so that external plugins don't have  
  to be rebuilt for every release. We now use a naming scheme based on the  
  API/ABI versioning, checking older directories - with this release, the  
  plugin directory name is 1.20, and if this gets bumped to 1.21 in a  
  future release, 1.20 will still be available for external plugins.  
  (Any directories not 1.* won't be looked in.)  
* Made the version parsing much more reliable; it wasn't properly coping  
  with four-part version numbers. This affects any program whose build  
  scripts use xine-lib's automake macros.  
* Fixed an off-by-one in the FLAC security fix patch. This breakage was  
  causing failure to play some files.  
* Support 16-bit big-endian DTS audio.  
* Improved frame snapshot API. (ABI extension.)  
* Re-add support for # (stream parameter separator) in raw filenames,  
  without the bugs found in the original implementation.  
  (This is a convenience feature for users only. Front ends which rely on  
  it for functions like subtitle file detection must instead use file://  
  MRLs; if they don't, we consider them to be buggy.)  
* Fixed long delay when closing stream on dual core systems
