At this moment I am writing a userland (ugen) interface for the Logitech 
Quickcam Zoom.
I already get a YUV-packet picture out of the cam at this moment.
It's still far from finished, but i'm working on in.

Since the Logitech cam uses a module made by Philips, this driver will also 
support a range of Philips USB webcams. (at least, that's my goal :)
