The problem is that MYTHTV_CONFIG_OPT_EXTRA applies to mythtv options, 
not to plugin options. When building the plugins you have to leave the 
MYTHTV_CONFIG_OPT_EXTRA exactly the same as it was when you built 
mythtv. The script does not have an ability to insert extra plugin 
options or to change the options.

What is happening is that the plugin build runs the mythtv configure 
again with a different destination directory and the 
MYTHTV_CONFIG_OPT_EXTRA options are used for the MythTV configure. That 
would be failing since --disable-mythnetvision etc are not valid MythTV 
build options.

Also remember that the plugin build makes use of the intermediate files 
from the prior mythtv build, so if the mythtv build has been damaged you 
may have to run it again in order to get the plugin build to work.

If you want some plugins disabled I recommend delete the applicable 
".so" files from your system after installing.
