[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg config options for VLC.

Because VLC ./configure will try to build against system libraries (libavcodec libavformat etc).
Alternative is to compile local FFmpeg libraries or use VLC's 'contribs' to compile local FFmpeg libraries.

I've attached the FFmpeg make rules that VLC contribs uses for Release VLC-2.1.4 and git.

These are the config options used in my build:-
--enable-gpl \
--enable-version3 \
--enable-nonfree \
--enable-libfdk-aac \
--enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libopencore-amrnb \
--enable-libopencore-amrwb \
--enable-libvpx \
--disable-avresample \
--disable-bsfs \
--disable-bzlib \
--disable-devices \
--disable-doc \
--disable-filters \
--disable-iconv \
--disable-programs

Are the config options for my build sane?
Are there any other options that could be safely disabled?
