The conversion has already been done in my v4l-dvb-vino tree. I'm trying to
convince the original vino author to boot up his Indy and test it, but he
is not very interested in doing that. I'll ask him a few more times, but we
may have to just merge my code untested. Or perhaps just drop it.
Jean, I remember you mentioning that you wouldn't mind if the i2c-algo-sgi
code could be dropped which is only used by vino. How important is that to
you? Perhaps we are flogging a dead horse here and we should just let this
driver die.

Hans
