Hi,

Please review & commit patch for multimedia/spook. It's old port without
maintainer and it doesn't work with V4L webcam on latest FreeBSD versions (9+).
Root cause is that Video4BSD provides only V4L2 support, and if client uses
V4L, it should use libv4l. So patch allows to use libv4l, so it fixes issue. 

It works for me. Portlint & poudriere testport are attached to ticket.

Also port has no maintainer now. I'll be happy to take maintainship. :)

It's worth to note that I've tested it with Logitech C310 webcam and found
significant CPU consumption in JPEG case (found thanks to dtrace). That's why
MPEG4 is only default case and JPEG casting is disabled by default.

Best regards,
Michael
