Updated for VideoLan 0.8.6e
----------------------------------

This weekend a few people started reviewing VideoLan again for an updated port 
so I took the plung on Sunday to see just where we were. I started with 
VideoLan 0.8.6e. Philip Brown (at Blastwave) had asked about VideoLan a few 
years ago and a maintainer at Blastwave had ported VideoLan 0.7.2. Brian 
Cameron wrote a SPEC file for VideoLan 0.8.6c which a few people are using now 
for compilation. So, I decided to start there for this spin:

1.  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
2. Get SPEC file at 
http://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk/encumbered/SFEvlc.spec?view=log
 {Brian Cameron}
3. Update to FFMpeg 0.4.9pre.
4. Review dependences and features I wanted.

There are some things I wanted to address dealing with the patches and tweaks 
so you can get a clean compile. Some issues deal with libmpeg and the Skins2 
directory. My port enabled libmpeg but if you use the SPEC file, it will 
disable it by default.

This Solaris port is intended to do everything (i.e. featurewise) the linux 
port does - but integrated for Solaris. Still work to do dealing with cross 
platform performance on the Solaris 8->10 OS releases.
