506 (of 646) functions in libvlccore do not have the VLC or vlc prefix today. 
Somehow, I have doubt anyone will ever bother to "fix" all of them. Doing it 
automatically would destroy code indentation all over the place.

Someone will have to figure a more innovative less disruptive solution.

That's fixed.
