VLC does not compile anymore with linux-3.7

[Pierre Labastie]

See ​http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7763

Upstream has committed a patch, which I have adapted below:

I think this should be fixed with VLC 2.0.5. Can you confirm?

Replying to Krejzi:

I confirm that VLC 2.0.5 builds with linux 3.7. I cannot test though because I have no sound card. For me, VLC is just required for building KDE.

While we are at it, I think that the instructions should have --disable-libgcrypt. Without that switch, `configure' throws an error if libgcrypt is not installed. But libgcrypt is mentioned as an optional dependency.

Fixed in r10892

Added libgcrypt to recommended dependencies and added --disable-libgcrypt to command explanations.
