Urgs... there should be no #include in config.h! Never!
you can cause by this a lot of problems as config.h is included everywhere.
The better way is to add another define there and check for it where you
include vroot.h. I think the best place to include vroot.h should be
somewhere in libvo/ (where all video output stuff belongs to).

I'm sure noone would add this in this form.

Btw: development stuff should go to -dev-eng
