Fixes for VirtualAlloc function: * mplayer received a SIGSEGV under Linux after Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs VirtualAlloc(0x00400000, 859648, 0x00003000, 0x00000040) because that region was already under use and mmap() with MAP_FIXED has problems under Linux (see code). VirtualAlloc() fixed in "loader/ext.c". * VirtualAlloc() made to conform with win32 documented behavior regarding the alignment of the address and size arguments. * VirtualAlloc() detection of overlap with previous regions fixed.

VIDIX - Video Interface for *niX.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers
to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11).
I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix).

For detail on how to develop new driver see main/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt
