[vlc-devel] Compiling the new contribs

[Juha Jeronen]

Hi all,

Based on the discussion, I slightly updated this section:

http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile#The_method_for_badly-behaved_distributions

The changes are:
  - Explain how to compile only a few select libraries
  - Note about make -jN

Also, added a parenthetical note here that the build page explains about
the contribs, too:
