Provide an output of the statically linked location for other build scripts #86

If I have my own crate that has a C file with some ffmpeg helpers (e.g. I want to use a macros that is not covered by rust-ffmpeg-sys) I need a completely new separate installation and build of ffmepg to be able to link against it. even if I use "build" feature and ffmpeg-sys already cloned and built ffmpeg for my target platform

It would be amazing if in my crate's build script I'll be able to get the ffmpeg's location by simply looking into specified directory like 

    let ffmpeg_include_path = env::var("RUST_FFMPEG_SYS_DIRECTORY").unwrap();
    cc::Build::new()
        .file("ffmpeg_helper.c")
        .header(Path::from(ffmpeg_include_path).join("libavcodec/avcodec.h"))
        .compile("ffmpeg_helper");
