Looks like libv4l now is part of v4l-utils:

	http://freshmeat.net/projects/libv4l

	http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-utils/v4l-utils-0.8.3.tar.bz2

f14 has a bit older source rpm: (libv4l.spec inside)

	http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/libv4l-0.8.1-1.fc14.src.rpm

and I found a newer one too:

	http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/v4l-utils-0.8.3-2.fc15.src.rpm

OK.  I guess not that many ppl will need this kld and those that
do should be able to install it from ports then too, I just wanted
to keep things a little easier but oh well, it's not _that_ important.
