After one weekend of browsing through all the docs I could, I surrender... I have tried to cross compile an example plugin with VLC source code from current HEAD, revision 1.1.7 and 2.0.3. Either didn't succeed or the generated plugin didn't load.
The current HEAD generates plugins with an entry point which I think isn't yet valid for VLC 2.0.3 (current version for Windows), so I've discard this.
I then checked out from GIT version 1.1.7, but never was able to configure the stuff for compilation. With 2.0.3 I was able to generate libvlccore, but can't link the sample plugin, with the error below:
