Compiling VLC for Mac OS X

[Eric Carlson]

Do this (do a make clean first if necessary):
./configure --disable-gtk
make
<wait... it will fail with a bunch of ld errors>
ranlib lib/*.a
make

I just tested this with the latest 0.2.72 tarball and it works fine.

You should end up with a working command line binary. vlc.app still 
seems to have issues, but your results may vary.
