[Libvisual-devel] String plugin type system.

[Dennis S. <sy...@yo...>]

We don't use numeric plugin type indicators any longer.

This means that we did a major API breakage and when CVS is checked out
EVERY libvisual module needs to be recompiled (make clean ; make
install)

What does this mean from a technical point of view.

The numeric plugin types gave a problem because it was easy to collide
between different libraries that register different plugin types.

The new fashion is:

"Domain:package:type", for actor plugins this means 
"Libvisual:core:actor"

For lv-display frontend plugins this would mean
"Libvisual:display:frontend", this scheme is very
flexible and it's very easy to register new plugin types to the plugin 
loading system.

We introduced a heap of helper functions regarding this, check it out
at lv_plugin.h :)

Cheers,
Dennis
