Hi,
 My turn to add comments..

Code Review:: vidinput_v4l.cxx

                                                                                                                                            
  //Now, we need to cope with the case where there are two video
  //devices available, which both have the same user friendly name.
  //Matching user friendly names have a (X) appended to the name.
  for (i = 0; i < tempList.GetSize(); i++) {
    PString userName = tempList.GetDataAt(i);
 
    PINDEX matches = 1;
    for (j = i + 1; j < tempList.GetSize(); j++) {
      if (tempList.GetDataAt(j) == userName) {
        matches++;
        PStringStream revisedUserName;
        revisedUserName << userName << " (" << matches << ")";
        tempList.SetDataAt(j, revisedUserName);
      }
    }
  }
 
Example::
If there are three cameras in the list, both of which with nmes of
webcam

the list becomes

webcam 
webcam (2)
webcam (3)
