  Sorry for the long delay.  I think there are some criteria for the next 
release that need to be addressed:

1) We need to prevent the endless reports of "no plugins are listed".  However 
it's done, I'm not really concerned with.  Maybe it's best to pop up a 
messagebox with instructions.  I don't know.  But it's clear that it is a 
problem for users.

2) The Xv driver is difficult to setup (XFree more than qtvision), and the v4l 
driver is just not usable for most people.  I think this needs to be better 
addressed.

3) The crash/freeze on resize needs to be tracked down.

  Without these things, I think it will result in more headaches in the end to 
release another version of qtvision.  #2 is very time consuming to fix, #3 is 
very tricky to fix (track down).  #1 is easy.  What do you think?
