Excellent!

Sounds like a good plan.

I wouldn't worry too much about the other distro's for now, once you have an 
3.96 release (iow something to show) you should mail the maintainers of xawtv 
from the various distro's and ask them to update to 3.96, adjusting any of 
their patches in the progress and then send their patches to you for upstream 
merging.

Don't be shy in sending distro specific hacks back to the distro maintainers 
for them to implement a more general solution.

Hans
