Guys

The OpenH323_Plugins branch (aside from Video Plugins)
incorporates some 
major changes to the OpenH323 stack including restructuring
and the removal 
of 22 files from the build.

Some of the Highlights
1. Plugin Video support backported from Opal (Thanks for
guilhem for 
finishing off the quite large undertaking and code tidy up
after my return 
from holidays)
2. H.235 Plugin Authenticator support added to support
external smartcard 
and biometric authenticators which can be used to
authenticate callers.
3. More extensive H.460 support.
4. All the LID code has been removed to make way for the
eventual LID 
plugin backport from Opal
5. The windows HID support has been removed which is now
incorporated into 
the LID plugin support.
6. Some file restructuring

It currently compiles and runs on both Linux and Windows
(2003 not 2005 
yet) and OpenMCU has also been branched.

Porting existing applications to the new branch only
requires minor changes 
with all video capabilities now being loaded via the 
H323EndPoint::AddAllCapabilities() function.
All that is required is the removal of references to the
hardcoded video 
capability definition and old video header files. All other
application 
functionality (ie.H323EndPoint::OpenVideoChannel etc)
remains unchanged.

Note: A lot of the new H460 functionality is also
simultaneously being 
worked into GnuGk CVS.

Special thanks to Requestec for sponsoring the video
component of the branch.
