ATTENTION WEBCAM USERS: Say cheese!

One of the new GNOME 2.22 modules is cheese.  Cheese is a small GNOME
app that drives webcams to take pictures and videos using gstreamer's
video4linux plug-in.  If you're familiar with MacOS's Photobooth, it's a
lot like that.

However, it won't work on FreeBSD as it stands now.  The reason is we
lack webcam support in our hal port.  I do not have a webcam, so I have
no idea how these devices look.  If anyone out there has a webcam that
works with FreeBSD, how do you use it?  How is it identified as a webcam
by the OS?  What device node does it use?  What applications currently
work with it?

If we do not have any GNOME webcam users, then cheese will not be part
of our GNOME 2.22 port.
