Yeah sorry about that. I've made the first patch rather quick. Both modules 
can be compiled fine with your changeset but I got the following ImportError: 

# python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Aug 25 2005, 18:20:57)
[GCC 4.0.1 (4.0.1-2mdk for Mandriva Linux release 2006.0)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vlc
>>> import vlcinternal
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vlcinternal.so: undefined 
symbol: vlc_current_object
>>>                             

Perhaps the definition of the vlc_current_object function is missing from 
src/libvlc.h ?
