Well, as I would like to see all the capture related files into a 
directory called "capture" in the future,
I don't want to rename existing things now.

I defined a PLATFORM_SRC both in Makefile.nmake and Makefile.am and use 
this in Makefile.common for this.

I'm unsure how this should be related to the EXTRAxxx things.


I've checked in my changes, it works well on win32.

Could please someone have a "in depth" try on automake, and also check 
if the distribution process wasn't affected (no files missing now).
