Are there plans to support webcams under FreeBSD ?

Under Linux there are many drivers supporting many webcams exposing them 
as device with some standardised access.

Under Windows there's whole driver infrastructure of camera devices.

In FreeBSD I couldn't only find old bt848 driver, driver for some 
obsolete parallel port camera and pwc_bsd project supporting newer 
Philips PWC chipset.

It must be possible to make some infrastructure allowing to use linux 
videodevice drivers with minimal changes.

Thanx,
Yuri
