Simple: vf_zrmjpeg.c uses libavcodec internals which means:
normally installed programs lack a needed header (mjpegenc.h,
maybe others), it defines HAVE_AV_CONFIG_H which means MPlayer's
config.h is used by the FFmpeg headers (which _might_ cause issues
if it differs in the wrong way, though I can't think of an actual
case where it would be a problem) and lastly it is a feature that
might break with any kind of change in FFmpeg, even when there
was no version bump.
Simply forcing it via --enable-zr might work, but I recommend that
you avoid giving the impression that you will certainly support it
for future versions, too - given how rare the hardware is and how
hackish the current support is I think that would be more than
you can promise.
