This way any and all work on Quickcam applications can be cross developed on FreeBSD and Linux. No, that's silly... we should really just grab the best _technical_ driver from all camps and insure that we all conform to the same driver API. I have no idea how compatible mine is with the next-generation Linux driver that is in the works...hell, I didn't even know there _was_ a next generation linux driver API in the works until 5 minutes ago. Don't worry, by the time all of us get our code out the door, I'm sure there will be a TON of cross-polination.
