First of all, it's disappointing how little the packages in the
linux-headers-2.6.38 tracker[1] intrest people.

[1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/359595

Planning on masking some of the low hanging fruits from the tracker.

And after the bugs are mostly (or all) dealt with, I suggest we remove
USE="v4l2" and make USE="v4l" mean:

"Enable support for video4linux (with or without userspace library libv4l)"

And rename the pkgs using USE="v4l2" to USE="v4l".  Since there will be
only video4linux version 2, using libv4l or without (or possibly using
libv4l compability layer for libv4l1).   But no more straight up version
1 support since videodev.h is gone since Linux 2.6.38

?
