[vlc] vlc 0.5.0: storage size of `timeout' isn't known

[Chris Jensen]

Hi,
I've tried to compile the the new vlc (0.5.0), but I get a compile error 
compiling the ftp module.
funny thing is, it compiled just fine on another box, but I can't figure what 
the difference was, I thought it must've been different compiler versions 
(because I first saw this error with an earlier version of gcc, than on the 
box that compiled successfully), but I upgraded so that they were all on the 
same gcc version (2.95.3), but that didn't help.
The thing is I don't forsee that I will really need ftp support, so if there's 
a way to just disable compiling this module, then that'd be fine too.
Here's the error I got

Wait: Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of
