First, what's the intent of integrating VLC into fink ? I thought 
fink was for porting traditional *NIX applications to OS X, but VLC 
is now a full Cocoa application. Is it in fink's policy to include 
such applications ?

As for your problem, my configure line is :
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-gtk 
--disable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-tree=../ffmpeg-cvs 
--enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --with-libdvbpsi-tree=../libdvbpsi 
--enable-a52 --with-a52-tree=../a52dec-0.7.4 
--with-libdvdcss-tree=../libdvdcss --enable-release

Personally, I statically link with ffmpeg since ffmpeg guys can't 
provide stable versions (you know, with version numbers and all).

Compiling VLC on OS X is highly non-trivial, and when I have time 
I'll make a .tar.gz of my personal build environment, to make your 
life easier. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me for 
more information.
