+-protect open() against being called from different threads simultaniously,
+ we are then thread safe except for the jpeg decompression under the following
+ assumption:
+ * We assume all device setup (for a single device) is done from a single
+   thread
+ * We assume that at the time an videodev fd gets closed all other threads
+   which may have been using it have stopped using it.
+
+-add support for setting / getting the number of read buffers
+
+-add code to v4l2_read to not return frames more then say 5 seconds old
+
+-add support for libv4l1 for non pure capture (combined capture and overlay)
+ devices so that atleast CGMBUF emulation (but no conversion, as thats
+ impossible for overlays) can be done, so that it will no longer be
+ necessary to implement CGMBUF in the kernel for each driver.
+
+-add (configurable) support for alsa faking enum_fmt to libv4l2 ?
+
+-check v4l2_field during conversion
+
+-add make install target
+
+-add conversion from bgr24 to yuv420
+
+-add v4l2_dup, make re-entrant safe (for gstreamer v4l2 support)
