oh, forget [pix_movieDarwin].

the current idea is:
- - there is only a single [pix_film] (or [pix_movie]) object.
- - various backends are provided using a plugin system.
- - there are plugins for e.g gmerlin (called "gem_filmGMERLIN.so"), for
'QuickTime' ("gem_filmQT.so", this is what used to be [pix_filmQT] and
is mainly for w32), for 'Darwin' ("gem_filmDarwin.so"; this is QuickTime
as well, but it's what was used for [pix_filmDarwin]).

so you should make sure that you have the "Darwin"-backend ==
"gem_filmDarwin.so" in your path.
then [pix_film] should give you a line like "pix_film:: Darwin support".

you could have both gem_filmDarwin.so and gem_filmQT.so in your path,
and Gem will try each backends until it finds one that is able to open
the file.

well it's not "normal", but it is expected.
again i did some more cleanups and removed some leftover files that are
generated by autotools, namely "install.sh" and "Base/config.h.in".

i hope this was the last major change here (but who knows...)

so in order to get it to compile again, do:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./config.state --recheck
$ ./config.state
$ make
