Err, what comments?

As far as I know, the backend works fine on Linux/PPC with an x86 frontend - 
all endian issues should have been taken care of.  The only reason there's no 
mac port of the backend is because no-one's written a video capture class 
that talks to whatever drivers work on that OS.
