[rtmpdump] Rtmpdump just stream metadata / Solaris

[Mateusz Pawlowski]

Howard, 
Thanks for the --stop 1 , works nicely. 

When it comes to the flags, these are necessary for all Solaris
compilations so worth putting in the Makefile to save the hassle for the
others.

Stdbool ... Nothing to add ... 

Cheers

Fiddling with the Makefile should generally not be necessary. Just set
whatever additional flags you want on the commandline. e.g.

	make XLDFLAGS="-lnsl -lsocket" XCFLAGS=-std=c99



re: stdbool - that was just a bad idea all around; next release will not
use bool any more.

I suggest you just use --stop 1.

The current exit codes are already documented and in wide use. You
should be able to turn them into whatever you want using the scripting
language of your choice...
