-- compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:
-You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site
-(www.cygwin.com).
-I'm personnaly running the experimental distribution (and gcc-3.2) with the
-exception of the autoconf tool for which I'm using the autoconf-devel-2.52-4
-package (I had problems with 2.53a-1). You will need to make sure you install
-at least the gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and w32api packages.
-
-Also note that currently, even when using the -mno-cygwin option, the final
-executable requires cygwin1.dll even if none of the objects linked to form the
-executable does depend on cygwin1.dll itself. I don't know yet why the linker
-plays this trick...

-NOTE: by default, the GTK package is configured to be installed in
-/usr/local/gtk-win32, if you want to change this path, then you need to edit
-the gtk-win32/bin/gtk-config file and change "gtk_dir=" accordingly.
-The same is true for the SDL package, it is installed in
-/usr/local/SDL-1.2.3-win32 by default and you need to change "prefix=" in
-SDL-1.2.3-win32/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/sdl-config if you plan to extract the
-archive in a different directory.
+VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding
+or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...
