Process the output of configure --help with sed/perl/awk/grep/whatever
(pick one) and --disable all the things not in the list of stuff you
explicitly want enabled. Unlike trying to force MPlayer to change its
configure script in very unintuitive ways, this is very simple and
will work with autosh*t projects too...
