Hi Bryan,

Yes, you are right that this is a bug. However, the whole autoload 
module option is basically bogus and has in fact been removed in later 
ivtv versions (the ivtv-0.10 branch no longer has it). So I won't be 
applying this patch (sorry) since I'm not updating 0.4 anymore except 
for really important bug fixes, which this isn't.

Regards,

        Hans
