Great! ;)

BTW I tried to build the latest SVN this week-end on a "fresh" 
environment and it got stuck in the bootstrap (after compiling some 
stuff in extra/contribs) with libgcrypt. I didn't try any further (yet) 
but it might be interresting to do a script to do all these tedious tasks.

Also I modified extras/contrib/src/Makefile to change --prefix=$(PREFIX) 
into --prefix="$(PREFIX)"
Can anyone tell me if it works on Linux too (I don't have one here) ? So 
I can commit...
In the end Videolan (or some dependencies) can be handled in a path with 
spaces on MinGW. But that's still a step forward...
