not ok, as there are filters like -vf lavc, which dont depend on any
optional vo driver.

but some --disable-all-encoders option could do the job.
so embedded system makers could use it.

it can be stripped down under 1mb
i've configured avi+divx+pcm only mplayer in less than 1mb for a firm for
embeddded use. and it still contained lots of unused code.
