It is already useful for testing autofocus/autogain improvements to

I think this is more suitable as a github project. To be honest, I feel that
v4l-utils already contains too many random utilities, so I prefer not to add
to that.
On the other hand, there is nothing against sharing this as on github as it
certainly can be useful.
Can I get you to reconsider that?
Originally, I planed to keep the utility separate, but then I got
comments from Mauro ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/24/457 ) explaining
that hard sdl dependency is not acceptable etc, and how I should do
automake.
So I had a lot of fun with automake integration, and generally doing
things right.
So getting "we all ready have too many utilities" _now_ is quite an
unwelcome surprise.
Too many *random* utilities.
Utilities like v4l2-ctl are tied closely to the kernel and are updated whenever
new APIs appear. But yet another viewer?
Mauro, I find that v4l-utils is a bit polluted with non-core utilities.
IMHO it should only contain the core libv4l2, core utilities and driver-specific
utilities. I wonder if we should make a media-utils-contrib for all the non-core
stuff.
What is your opinion?

Hans
