This is not fixing anything AFAICT. This patch hides the regression 
*and* the corresponding new feature behind an arbitrary predicate. 
Consequently, on the one hand, LibVLC is still broken/regressing. On the 
other hand, VLC looses the new feature and will regress again if, or 
rather when, someone reintroduces the feature of preparsing directories.

Also inserting arbitrary inconsistencies between VLC and LibVLC is 
probably not a good idea - considering how little testing LibVLC gets.
