This is in preparation of moving code out of weld.hxx to separate headers/source files, in order to make it easier to keep an overview and to avoid having to recompile ~all UI code when anything changes. Also move weldutils.cxx to a new vcl/source/weld directory.

Audio / video Media Implementation.
Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality. Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files.
Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation
of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar /
mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox
item.
avmedia / gstreamer
The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in
offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on
gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress
presentation on Linux with gstreamer.
The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete.
In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added support for that later.
Future Works
it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI.
