Hi Mauro,

Funny you should send these along today.  Last Friday I was actually
poking around at the Fedora tvtime repo because I was curious how they
had dealt with the V4L1 support issue (whether they were using my
patch removing v4l1 or some variant).

I've actually pulled in Fedora patches in the past (as you can see
from the hg repo), and it has always been my intention to do it for
the other distros as well (e.g. debian/Ubuntu).  So I appreciate your
having sent these along.

I'll pull these in this week, do some testing to make sure nothing
serious got broken, and work to spin a 1.0.3 toward the end of the
week.  Given the number of features/changes, and how long it's been
since the last formal release, I was considering calling it 1.1.0
instead though.

I've been thinking for a while that perhaps the project should be
renamed (or I considered prepending "kl" onto the front resulting in
it being called "kl-tvtime").  This isn't out of vanity but rather my
concern that the fork will get confused with the original project (for
example, I believe Ubuntu actually already calls their modified tree
tvtime 1.0.3).  I'm open to suggestions in this regards.

Devin
