I dont think that would bring much value to be honest: since the ffmpeg 
project doesn't contain a copy of linux/videodev2.h - something strongly 
rejected by the maintainers - forcing the options would just cause a 
build error so you would not gain anything.

do you have videodev2.h in your system? (in /usr/include/linux for instance)
