Unfortunately, there is not always a clear cut. "vlc" is not a module.
sout, http and vlm are also not really modules. And then v4l2 is a module, but 
the equally named configure option does not turn it on/off.

And of course, many options enable more than one module at a time.

While it could be nice to control the plugin set, I could not find a 
reasonable solution within autotools. Unfortunately, this means building from 
a clean chroot environment is currently the only way to tightly control the 
dependencies. I am afraid disable-all does not solve this.

This should be a libv4l2 plugin anyway. But that's another rant.
