one idea... maybe it is time for v4l2src2.. ie. copy v4l2 plugin into -bad,
rename v4l2src to v4l2src2 temporarily, as to not conflict with v4l2src in
-good, and then hack away..

It would give some time to mature v4l2sink, implement other v4l2 related
elements (and I have some potential interest in v4l2 filter elements too), do
whatever refactoring is needed in v4l2src, etc, etc.

This avoids support libs, and introducing cross plugin-package dependencies.

Thoughts?
