Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

Improved Win32 Unicode handling. Improved h264 support in TS/TS2/MP4
files. Improved image handling (BMP, JPEG, etc.). The Qt4 GUI has
been greatly improved. Translations have been updated.
it's disabled (fixes a build problem).
Add patches from upstream SVN to fix build problems with newer x264
snapshots, like the one in pkgsrc.
Bump PKGREVISION for pulseaudio change.

For those building it from source, please use cmake. The
Autoconf/automake build is less tested and will be obsoleted very
soon.

The list of fixed bugs:

For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
