You might try to manipulate within your script the output of
menuselect (that would be "menuseleect.makeopts" if you haven't
changed the default). It seems rather straightforward to change or
delete variables and their values.

Another posssibility is to directly modify the input tree for
menuselect; for instance, selecting by default the ilbc codec, as per
your example, could be achieved by taking out the
"<defaultenabled>no</defaultenabled>" phrase in the XML description of
the ilbc codec option.

The choice between these two methods (and maybe others...)
probably depends on the structure of your install script, and the
frequency of the changes to the install options.

Best regards,
Laurent
