[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/3] contrib: Put the contrib in $host/$distro instead of just $host. This allows building for a same target with different distro type. (eg iPhone Simulator)

Maybe the contribs compile and build result should be done in a
builddir instead of in the source tree. You then can have a contrib
build for any combination you need. Eg:

vlc-builddir-macosx
   extras/contrib

vlc-builddir-native
   extras/contrib

vlc-builddir-arm
   extras/contrib

What do you think?

Kind regards,
