I don't have a strong opinion if we should have a /lib dir here or
not.

	keytable
	v4l2-sysfs-path
parsers/
	parse_em28xx.pl
	parse-sniffusb2.pl

I like the idea of putting everything else under
	contrib/

With respect to the parsers (parse_em28xx.pl and parse-sniffusb2.pl), in practice, they
seemed more important than the v4l2-dbg, as they help to check what GPIO's are needed
to support the USB devices (and it is impractical to send us a non-parsed log, due to its
very long size). So, IMO, this should be installed on distros.

Agreed.
