Thanks. I updated ports and svn upped the webcamd code once more, and  
now I have pwcview working again. Below is the output of gdb with the  
MT9M001 camera, with the USB_DEVICE() added to sn9c20x.c

Maybe one more thing: I checked the hardware, and the bridge of (both)  
cameras is a CY7C68013(A) (a.k.a. Cypress FX2) microprocessor, not a  
SN9C20x. Its behaviour will depend on the firmware, so this may become  
difficult to get to work, and I guess this has more to do with v4l  
than with freebsd-usb. Yet, I noticed that this bridge is sometimes  
integrated in webcams functioning as an OV511 replacement:
http://ovcam.org/ov511/cameras.html
I will try to find out more about what `language' it speaks in my  
specific cameras.
