I MFCed the v4l2 support in the linuxulator to 8–stable. This allows now to use v4l2–webcams in skype/flash on 8-stable too.

I MFCed the v4l2 support in the linuxulator to 8–stable. This allows now to use v4l2–webcams in skype/flash on 8-stable too.
I merged the v4l translation layer into the linuxulator of 8-stable. As in -current, this just means that linux apps (like Skype) can now use FreeBSD native devices which conform to the v4l ABI. The port multimedia/webcamd provides access to some webcams (or DVB hardware) via the v4l ABI.
People which want to test the linuxulator part should first make sure a native FreeBSD application has no problem accessing the device.
