True.  I'll try some tests on Debian Wheezy soon (no promises I'll 
manage this before the end of the year, holidays etc..).

The future-proof (until the kernel changes again, heh) solution is to 
use <linux/videodev2.h> and libv4l2(-convert), but this would be quite a 
lot of work (especially for controls) as V4L2 is somewhat complicated - 
I have experimented a little with this stuff in Haskell, perhaps I'll be 
able to find some time in mid-January to transfer my knowledge to 
C++/GridFlow.

Thanks,
