Heh, those are not the same options as listed above, so there aren't
four to remove. However the useless ones from your list are libfaac,
libx264, and libxvid. More or less 90% of the stuff that is block
quoted in configure is that way because it is not meant to be used by
people/does nothing/breaks things.
