Thanks, good work! Did this reduce the driver in size, iow do you think it 
makes writing usb webcam driver easy, any improvements we could make?

If you do gspca based drivers, you will want to use jfmoine's tree as a base:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/

Use "hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/" to get it. hint if you 
don't have the hg command it is part of mercurial.

Regards,

Hans
