The reference counting is not thread-safe in this patch: UB can occur if a 
thread releases the last reference while another thread tries to yield the 
object.

Furthermore, I think that Windows-specific APIs do not belong in the platform-
independent API list of libvlccore. Either this should be exported only on 
Windows, or this should be a separate library, or whatever. That later is how 
we´ve handled it already on other systems.
