   Well my time is spread quite thin, but if you have some suggestions, please 
send them along.  The real problems seem to be performance related and race 
related in the Qt-X11-V4L loop integrations.  One option is to move the V4L 
stuff out-of-process, but I really don't like that.  It just doesn't seem 
clean to me.  On the other hand, we may not have much of a choice.  The 
threading code seems very problematic.

   I have a chunk of code sitting around waiting to commit, but it needs more 
cleanup first.  It will give us conversion between all the different 
colourspaces.  We don't particularily need it yet anyways, so it's ok for 
now.  qtvision without Xv is far too slow to be usable. :)
