What would you do? make the window unresizeable?  That's hardly very usable.

Anyway to get this information about what fixed sizes a card supports, other
than some kind of guessing game?  X window managers don't support the general
concept of a few fixed sizes for a window anyway, so it wouldn't be that
useful.

Is there any information on v4l2_cropcap?  The v4l2 document on thedirks.org
just says: 

Still to come....

I see a "pixelaspect" in the v4l2 header file, but the name alone doesn't make
it clear how it's used.
