After some off-list pointers by Devin, I tracked this down to user 
error.  I thought I was compiling tip for xc5000-improvements-beta but 
was not.  This is now working and composite input video works well on my 
950Q.  I notice no difference from previous version (wouldn't really 
expect to based on changes).

Thanks,
