We've seen autobuilder failures for vlc on many platforms and we don't
know how to solve them. It is also currently orphaned, i.e. there is
nobody who is actively using the package and maintaining it in
buildroot.
We could mark the package as BROKEN, but that would make it completely
invisible for the users and the autobuilders, which would not help its
orphan-ness. Therefore, instead, add a big fat warning in the config
menus that it has known issues.

If Lua support is requested in VLC, its configure script tries to find the
luac byte compiler, which fails if host-lua is not yet built.
This can be easily reproduced by setting a minimal config with vlc and Lua
enabled, and running: 'make clean toolchain vlc'. Final output is:
checking for LUA... no
configure: WARNING: Package lua5.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lua5.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'lua5.2' found, trying lua 5.1 instead
checking for LUA... no
configure: WARNING: Package lua5.1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lua5.1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'lua5.1' found, trying lua >= 5.1 instead
checking for LUA... yes
checking for luac... no
configure: error: Could not find the LUA byte compiler.
make: *** [<buildroot>/output/build/vlc-2.1.2/.stamp_configured] Error 1
Fix this problem by setting host-lua as a dependency to vlc.

All PowerPC CPUs do not support altivec instruction set; so enable its
support only when the sub-architecture support it.

Commit 0a5d524015 added a libmodplug package
to Buildroot; this means that libmodplug support can now be enabled for the
vlc package.
