svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \
      checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b/trunk/usbcam/ulinux/tools/linux_make

Build and install linux_make tool.
cd linux_make
make all install clean

1)
cd ports/multimedia/webcamd  # from my SVN

2) Patch in new driver in work/*webcamd*/media_tree
Make sure all Linux Makefiles/KBuild are updated properly.

3) Add new CONFIG_XXXX entries to work/*webcamd*/config
