[vdr] Patch: dxr3plugin OSD don't turn pink

[Martin Cap]

Hi, Luca works great !

I had I another idea last night. Why not use cPalette from VDR (from 
osd.h) itself and completly remove cDxr3PaletteManager ?
I tried it and it works for me(no pink OSD after Mplayer, femon-skins 
work, haven't tried yaepg though), but try for yourself, please.

I substitued cDxr3PaletteManager in dxr3interface_spu_encoder.h with 
cPalette (member m_palManager), and made calls in 
dxr3interface_spu_encoder.c fit the interface of cPalette from VDR 
(changes in dxr3interface_spu_encoder.c mostly around line 315-341).
cPalette lacks something like RemoveColor() AFAIS, but I think it was 
only used to clear the whole palette structure, which is now done 
through cPalette::Reset().

Before adding the color to the palette, it gets converted from RGB to 
YCrCb thru Tools::Rgb2YCrCb().

BTW, I'm just sending you the two files which needed change 
(dxr3interface_spu_encoder.[h|c]) attached to this mail
(you can remove Dxr3PaletteManager.o from the Makefile to see that there 
are no references anymore) .

Comments welcome and highly appreciated.
I'm in a rush kinda, so no long text here, sorry :). If you have 
question, don't hesitate..

Regards,
Martin Cap...
