I am not 100% sure if this is the same issue like described 
on http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2007-December/037726.html
and https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1371. If this only 
affects EXTVLCOPT then they are equal. The support for 
EXTVLCOPT was dropped to fix this. Anyone knows more?

Patches for all issues attached.

Is anyone already packaging 0.8.6d?

Kind regards
Nico
