Let me take a ride at Devin's call for tests ;)

I've also dropped V4L1 support from xawtv3 a few days ago. It would be
wonderful if people could test it. The upstream git tree is at:
	http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv3.git

A tarball for the latest version is at:
	http://linuxtv.org/downloads/xawtv/xawtv-3.99.rc1.tar.bz2

For those that use Fedora, there are some rpm available For FC14/FC15 at:
	http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xawtv/3.99.rc1/

There's just one know caveat that affects mostly webcam usage. Xawtv now has two 
V4L2 plugins, one with libv4l and another with just v4l2. Currently, there's no 
way to select between them. I need some time to do a research about it and write
a patch to address this issue.

Tests, reports and patches are welcome!
Mauro.
