VLC on OS X 10.1

[Jesper Nilsson]

I gave VLC 0.2.90 running on my osX 10.1 flawless.

All I did was download the latest version, it was 0.2.90.
Untared it and then:

 >./configure
 >make libdvdcss
 >make vlc

Then install it or run it from the base dir.

Worked fine for me. But be sure to have libdvdcss installed or compiled 
in base dir before making the vlc app.
