Hi Bent,

Thanks for the suggestion.
However v4l v4l2 support is always compiled, whenever libv4l/libv4l2 is found 
or not. V4L and V4l2 are kernel interfaces, and for many webcams there is no 
need for additional libraries.
The purpose and internals of libv4l and libv4l2 were very unclear to me: I 
expected that linking to them would be enough for ioctls to be trapped into 
the library to make some automatic user-space processing. Unfortunately 
according to your lastest test, it seems not to be the case.

Simon
