You should here try to hack vlc/Makefile.am to remove the creation of  
the VLC.app bundle. I think you don't want it. The best thing would  
be to add a configure switch to build VLC.app from vlc bin, and send  
a patch to the vlc-devel. If you encounter too much troubles, I could  
give it a try myself.
