RFE Allow Pass-1 Output to /dev/null

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Linux, video4fuze-0.6+ (universal source tar)

Since the first pass in a two-pass encoding is just to create the analysis log 
file, there is no need keep the resulting video file that will be overwritten 
by the second pass.

Normally, I could give the first pass an output "-o /dev/null" and spare my 
device unnecessary writing.  However, adding that to "Mencoder pass 1 command 
line" has no effect because video4fuze appends its own -o for writing the 
temporary file to /tmp.  Although I could possibly symlink the temporary file 
to /dev/null doing so would probably dump the output of the second pass, which 
we DO want to keep.

Any chance that the first pass could be allowed to have its output directed to 
/dev/null?

It makes sense, I'll look into it.
