Yep. video1394dc.h used to be in the same directory, but I guess it moved at a
point of time. This is weird, because both headers only work on *nix. However,
the video4dc1394.c file *is* in the "unix" directory.

Maybe I should try and add comments to the code and post a patch? I remember I
started with copying the dc1394 files as avc1394 and then adjusted where
necessary. I was looking mostly at the source of dvgrab for hints, but also at
kino I think.

I guess debugging is only for those who want to use gdb. I never compiled it
with debugging, but the TRACEs always showed up when I wanted them and I find
them more useful. Using gdb on a threaded app can be a killer.

I guess you're right. CC'ing this -devel related half of the thread there, so
we don't bother others here from next time.
