Subject: [PATCH] VLC Filename convert to file:// URL

Passing a filename with spaces in it causes some issues
on WinXP/2003, this patch converts all filenames to valid
URLs (which is the preferred way to reference media in VLC).

Specifically;

* The file path is prepended with file://
* backslashes in filenames are converted to forward slashes in URLs
* Spaces are converted to %20
