Hmmm?

I fetched SDL 1.1.4 from:
http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/projects/SDL/download-1.1.html

Built and installed w/o error. Then built and installed vlc 0.1.99h. It
builds (and installes) sdl.so, but makes no mentioning of it:

Shouldn't it show up in the plugin list? The output above behaves as the
previous one on Xfree86 4.0.1

Other than that, this version works on a matrox framebuffer. Which the
previous version didn't on my system.

Kudos!
