Subject: Handling of implicit (but required) buildlink3.mk due to package options?

I'm trying to build multimedia/vlc, which uses ffmpeg.  I've built
ffmpeg with additional options, such as faad and a52, which require
additional packages.  But vlc only requires ffmpeg and so breaks during
compilation -- the package doesn't know about the additional
dependencies.

How should (can?) this be handled?

Brian.
