[vdr] Compiling plugins for vdr 1.3.12

[Tony Houghton <h@realh.co.uk>]

I want to compile vdr with the following plugins: xine (0.5.0), remote
(0.3.1) and dxr3 (0.2.2). Not to mention more once I get those working.
I know dxr3 and xine are mutually exclusive but I want to use xine to
make sure I've got vdr working at all before I try the dxr3 - which I
don't think is going to work TBH. I thought it worth a try though,
because it would solve two problems at once - lousy TV-out on most
ordinary graphics cards, and not enough CPU power for vdr's OSD
(although plenty for ordinary viewing).

Trouble is, none of the above plugins will compile. dxr3 and xine need a
class cWindow, which isn't in vdr any more, and remote needs a global
pointer (AFAICT from its EOSD macro) called Interface. The xine plugin
has several xine-based errors too even though I'm using Darren Salt's
libxine-dev Debian package. It's because of his packages that I thought
the plugins should build with vdr 1.3.12, because that's the version his
vdr package is based on, and he also provides debs of the remote and
xine plugins and more. Unfortunately it doesn't work too well for me;
runvdr doesn't work at all for some reason, and xine is so unreliable
that before I found the cheap DXR3 I was going to ask if mplayer can be
used instead.
