You can create a CustomAction Feature using Location="EditControlBlock" for
RegistrationType="List" and RegistrationId="101" (or a specific content type, if
that option works better for you).

See syntax details here:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460194.aspx

and a walk thru here:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms473643.aspx

If you then associate an assembly with your Custom Action using the
ControlAssembly and ControlClass properties, you can programmatically determine
(however you want) if the document library currently in scope should have a menu
option or not. See this blog post for details about implementing an
assembly-based Custom Action, while it demonstrates a Site Actions example
rather than an ECB example, Tony's is the best post I've seen on this topic:
