adding vout module to tree

[Bram Stolk]

Hello,

After doing some tests on the dummy vout module, I want to add
a vout module to the tree.
The build system does not seem to follow traditional
autoconf/automake conventions (e.g. there is only 1
Makefile.am in the toplvl), so I'm not sure how to add a
module. (Maybe this info could go into HACKING file?)

To add a module, I editted these files:

M modules/video_output/Makefile
M modules/LIST

and created:

? modules/video_output/shm.c 
which is modelled after dummy vout.c

This will build me a shm.so, which gets installed nicely in
$ROOT/lib/vlc/video_output/
along with the x11.so and sdl.so vout modules.

However, when starting 'vlc --vout shm', I get:
[00:00004e] main video output error: no video output module matched "shm"
[00:00004e] main video output error: no suitable vout module
[00:00004c] mpeg_video decoder error: cannot open vout, aborting

What did I forget?

thx,

   bram
