I don't see how your suggestion helps.  This package (mplayer) doesn't
use autotools - it has a hand coded configure script, so there is
no configure.{in,ac}

I also looked through the logs and didn't see any recipe which uses
a package that is now marked as binconfig-disabled as to how it
solves the problem.  A pointer/example would really be appreciated.
