Pong.

I am still thinking how to make libv4l2 support optional...

It seems that an option is not suitable here, as there are several applications (xawtv, streamer, fbtv, ...) and it is not good to hack all their cmdline interfaces.

Perhaps LD_PRELOAD is a way? If the only application still used by "end users" is "xawtv", then maybe just add "LD_PRRELOAD=..." into its .desktop file? (Saving all another utils unchanged).

P.S. Could you add autoconf stuff for libv4l2 patch as well?
