+Summary: Check for V4L2 is not robust enough
+
+The check for V4L2 is not robust enough. Currently it just checks if
+"videodev2.h" was found on the system, and if so, attempts to build the
+V4L2 plugins. However, the videodev2.h file varies widely depending on the
+version. For example, on my Mandrake 9.0 box, the v4l2_clip and
+4l2_capability structs in videodev2.h are completely different from what
+gstreamer expects, breaking compilation So, the check for V4L2 needs a
+version check as well. I dunno what version is necessary, just that mine
+isn't recent enough. Mine has:
+
+        #define V4L2_MAJOR_VERSION      0
+        #define V4L2_MINOR_VERSION      20
