It's using a compat version on Windows/Android/OS2 which is not available
to external modules.
This new header can't be used directly from external modules on Windows.
This makes vlc_threads.h usable from external modules on Windows.
It is not used in POSIX systems. On other system it probably don't make a
difference anymore, only Windows has actual useful values for
VLC_THREAD_PRIORITY_XXX. The synchronization is more important than having some
threads called more often than others.
see e967f81f6a.
note, this does **not** affect cat-based module selection items
(of which there are just three in use by the core), since that
mechanism uses subcats not cats.
Do not declare *_sys_t typedefs globally in vlc_common.h. Instead,
declare them locally in each module that provides a definition.
This paves the way to move C++ definitions into anonymous namespaces in
order to respect C++ ODR.
The picture_resource_t and sout_stream_id_sys_t typedefs will be handled
separately, since they require specific additional changes.

mentions the _ prefixed variable.
gcc will always define the _ prefixed variable, like Visual Studio.
The prefixless one is defined in some language standards, e.g. gnu99
but not c99.
Re-license almost all the playback modules to LGPLv2.1+ with
authorization from their respective contributors (230+)
This includes:
- access, codec, packetizers, demux
- audio filters, audio mixers, audio output
- video filters, video chroma, video output
- text renderers
- XML parser
- ARM NEON and SSE2 optimisations (mostly for chromas and filters)
Some modules are not concerned:
- BDA and DShow access modules because Manol Manolov is AWOL
- Real RTSP, because it is derived from Xine
- x264 and t140 because they are encoders only
- DLL Loader, because it is derived from MPlayer
- DTS packetizer, because Jon Lech Johansen is AWOL
- Shine and WMAfixed, because they are derived from Rockbox
- Real demuxer, as it is derived from MPlayer and Wang Bo is AWOL
- MPC demuxer, as Yavor Doganov is AWOL
- Tivo demuxer, because it is derived from an MPlayer fork
- Playlist demuxer, (WPL and ZPL parts missing), because suheaven is AWOL
- iOS audio output and video display, because author refuses the license change
- Equalizer and compressor, because Ronald Wright is AWOL
- Mono, Headphone and Dolby, because author refuses the license change
- hqdn3d and yadif, because they are from MPlayer/libavfilter
- remoteosd, because it derives from RealVNC code
- MMX optimisations, because Ollie Lho, from SiS, is AWOL
- Rotate, because it depends on GPL motion
Nota Bene:
- Some modules depend on GPL-only libraries, a LGPL module does not mean
that the resulting binary module will be LGPL.
Libraries affected would include liba52, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread,
faad2, libdca, libmad, libmpeg2, libpostproc, SRC, sid, zvbi and probably others.
Support for the older API has dropped as of now.
