[Kwintv] Closed Captioning and Screenshots

[kwintv@mail.kde.org]

AFAIK, the only way to do this would be to capture the screen, and dump the 
image through a OCR program, such as clara. The xawtv package comes with a neat 
program called 'webcam', that can time delay captures from V4L devices. Couple 
these two, and you should get your desired result.
