[Brett I. Holcomb]

Okay, I understand now.  I've just merged it and will see how it looks.

I'm getting ready to merge xine on my Gentoo and wanted to find out what I really needed (I installed xine on a WS 3.1 and remember having to sort through all the mess to find out what was what-  but that was a while ago).  After reading the xine docs and websites I went to your SxS on xine.  The xine project isn't the best at really telling you what does what and what you need to do what you want!
