Yes it is! And I just copied the debug versions of  vlc.exe,
libvlc.dll and libvlc-control.dll from the .libs directory to the
vlc-0.9.0-git I created using make package-win32-base and it works
fine.

The wiki does say : "Once the compilation is done, you can either run
VLC directly from the source tree or you can build self-contained VLC
packages" but I certainly could not run vlc from the resulted .libs
directory that lacked all the needed subdirectories (plugins, etc..).

I haven't tried it yet, but does anyone know if it is possible to
debug an application created with Visual Studio that uses libvlc using
gdb?
