well to just error out(i think) is not really a good idea(leaves users 
in a panic)..maybe some

#ifdef AMANDA_XINE_STUFF
SELINUX_AMANDA_MODULE_NO_BUILDY
#endif

or even simpler a warning for this, but then again if somebody is 
setting up a policy like this then adjusting the modules should be 
something they do without even thinking about it(for the record I never 
do...)
