Hello Hans Peter,

It would be nice for better understanding or further related trouble
shooting to have a small picture (I like ASCII graphics), how the
pieces:

Skype (V4L1 or V4L2 iocls) and pwcview(1)
linux.ko
webcamd(8)
cuse4bsd.ko
v4l2wrapper-kmod.ko

fit together; would you mind to create one (or send me a few words and I
create one) and we add this to the above mentioned Wiki-page;

Would be really nice; thanks in advance

	matthias
