I've tried in vain to get vid to work, even going as far as hacking bits
out of the Linux driver and putting them in (vid seems to send different
things to the camera to initialise it). However, it initialises the camera
(the LED comes on!), opens the asynchronous ugen device and then just
blocks when attempting to read data.

I've tried Trust SpaceC@m 200 and 300 cameras which look like pretty standard
OV511+, OV76x0 cameras.
