phonon-vlc fails on KDE-4.9 with MSVC

Hi,

VLC has some include files, and in include/vlc/plugins/vlc_common.h there is a number with the ULL suffix, which MSVC doesn’t support.

Attached is a 2-line patch (also available here: http://paste.kde.org/563900/) which fixes this for MSVC, however, I did not have any luck with adding this patch to portage/testing/vlc. It seems that during “emerge vlc”, the content of the build/testing/vlc-2.0.2 directory changes 2 times and thus the patch always fails with an error. 

Maybe someone else could integrate this patch into portage? According to MSDN, it should work with MSVC2005, 2008 and 2012 as well (all provide the _byteswap_uint64() function) although I have only tested MSVC2010.

Thanks
-Michael
