Well you can add generic options for images, synthesis and text if you want to 
remove special codecs categories, and visualizations.

I really don't understand why we need this in contrib.

VLC does not use this.

But if you removed all of that, it's not really VLC anymore. I don't think we 
want to promote that sort of sub-standard builds.

And removing LUA and XML is not serious.
