Apps should be using libv4l rather than v4l2 directly. (Otherwise, they 
won't work with many webcams out there, because v4l2 doesn't decode weird 
formats in the kernel.)

Using the v4l1 compat header from libv4l is good enough until upstream gets 
native libv4l support. Please post the patch you used.
