Making contrib with Makefile generated by contrib/bootstrap,
contrib libraries must be compiled as static.

I compiled contrib libraries on my mingw32 on my Mac OS X by the
following steps.
you may change host and build for your environment.

% cd vlc_topdir/contrib
% mkdir win
% cd win
% ../bootstrap --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=x86_64-apple-darwin11
% make

And contrib are installed to vlc_topdir/contrib/i686-pc-mingw32 (or
your setting value to host).
It's the easiest and preferred way, I think.
