 I just checked and v4l2 doesn't have versions anymore. I guess Gerd
 removed them for some reason... I could check for absence of this
 variable and only continue compiling if it's not there... Would that
 be ok?

+I dunno. Were the versions removed when the API was deemed stable and
+unchanging? If that's the case, it seems like your idea is a
+reasonable check to make.
+
+However, I think the most robust solution is to have one of them
+"./configure checks" that attempts to compile a small program that
+includes the videodev2.h file and manipulates the questionable
+structs. If the compilation fails, then the videodev2.h is too old.
+
+At the very least, these issues should be documented in the README. :-)
