I have simplified the access to form compiler parameters from DOLFIN.
Here's a summary.

1. 'options' --> 'parameters' in FFC

2. DOLFIN stores form compiler parameters in parameters["form_compiler"]
and the values are easily accessible by

  info(parameters, True)

or

  info(parameters["form_compiler"])

3. DOLFIN reads the default values at startup by calling

  form_compiler.default_parameters()

4. The 'options' parameter to jit, assemble and Form have has been
renamed 'form_compiler_parameters'.

5. Before calling the form compiler, DOLFIN first reads the global
parameters from parameters["form_compiler"], then overrides the values
with any local values provided by the form_compiler_parameters
argument.

6. To see more output from the form compiler, *decrease* the log level
of the form compiler by form example setting it to INFO:

  parameters["form_compiler"]["log_level"] = INFO

This is the default log level in FFC, but DOLFIN changes it to INFO + 5
at startup to hide messages from the form compiler by default.

Have a go and see if it works as expected.
