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.
