Thanks for testing. I try to get some time "soonish" (probably not  
today) to commit this. After it is in the tree, I have a look at  
updating the v4l* headers to the current version.

The reason why I want to do it this way is, that in later version the  
v4l* headers are a little bit reorganized and I do not want to  
introduce some regressions (code or license).

Bye,
Alexander.
