thoggen-0.2.2: previews of coming attractions

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

I took a look at thoggen-0.2.2, which is available through CVS. I was
able to get it to build and come up. Since I don't have a DVD drive
[:-(] I cannot actually test it.

Issues:
----------

* Configure now tests for the presence of valgrind, which resolves the
compilation issue on PPC's.

        checking for valgrind > 2.1... Package valgrind was not found in
        the pkg-config search path.
        Perhaps you should add the directory containing `valgrind.pc'
        to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
        No package 'valgrind' found

The "voodoo" i386 assembler code in src/th-utils.c has also been
removed.


* thoggen-0.2.2 requires a number of gst-plugins:

        checking for gst-inspect-0.8... gst-inspect-0.8
        checking for GStreamer element queue... found.
        checking for GStreamer element thread... found.

        checking for GStreamer element theoraenc... found.
        checking for GStreamer element rawvorbisenc... found.
        checking for GStreamer element oggmux... found.

dvdlpcmdec is a new requirement. This plugin is available in the latest
CVS version, gst-plugins-0.8.90.1 

There is a tiny glitch in the configure file for gst-plugins-0.8.90.1. 
Here is the fix:
