This patch also removes support for legacy encodings:
- in taglib, in the non-Windows code paths,
- in the Internationalized Domain Names resolved (only glibc) and
- in the GNOME VFS module.
Support for translation from/to UTF-8 was disabled by default 20 months
ago, and scheduled for removal, 14 months ago.
...rather than with a command line option. This enables extending the
set of plugins paths globally, for all LibVLC applications.
Using an environment variable seems more logical than a command line
option considering that the module bank is shared by all VLC instances
in the process. In other words, it did not belong as a parameter to
libvlc_new().
