[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/2] plugin cache: Windows doesn't like relative pathes in LoadLibraryEx()

[Stève Lhomme]

This patch allows debugging on Windows without having to use "make
package-win-common" at each build. It also allows vlc-cache-gen to
work, even though it's not called as it's assumed to cross-compile.
