The skin interface is independant from the win32 native interface, both
exist in VLC 0.5.3 and you can modify one of them without affecting the
other one. The 0.5.2 version only had the native interface.

You can select an interface using the command-line, with the -I option:
"vlc.exe -I skins" or "vlc.exe -I win32", etc...

I don't know exactly what is wrong here, but you have an easy
workaround: compile vlc with --disable-intfwin, then with BCB6 open the
project file (modules/gui/win32/win32.bpr) and compile it. It should
generate the same file as with the "normal" build.

Maybe this URL will work for you, it is the 2.4.0 version, for Windows:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.4.0.zip

plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c is now named modules/misc/dummy/interface.c.
Except this detail the rest of the information concerning the plugins
should still be correct.

If you only want to modify an existing interface, this work is already
done, and you just need to change the appropriate files.
