drochner 80160985d8 First cut on a pkg for the current release series (0.8.x) of vlc.
Built and tested on i386/-current so far.
This inherits some cruft from the 0.7 pkg (configure args, dependencies)
which should be revisited. I'm committing this early to allow people
to bring in fixes for other platforms.
(Generally I'm impressed about the quality. After the only locking bug
has been fixed of course;-)
