So speaking about next release, I would suggest a couple of things for 1.3:

 - some symbols exported by the current .so.2 library are not declared
in the header files at all; since the libdvdcss consumers are relatively
known, and few, I'd suggest we check whether they are using them at all,
and if not remove them;

 - the cache... let's start by dropping support for the CACHETAG stuff
which is ancient and nobody follows anyway; I would vote for removing
the cache entirely (the thing backfired on me at least in one occasion,
while I developed xine, because on a tv series set of dvds it would
calculate more than one with the same name... and obviously the keys
were different), but I know j-b is not up for that.

I'd suggest to cut it down to just support the XDG-style cache on
Linux/Unix — and do whatever you want with Windows. I could also suggest
to use libxdg-basedir, but it would probably be a bit of overkill...
(xine uses it).
