If somebody would like to package up the loader tool and integrate that,
I think that'd be ideal. The only thing that would need to be done apart
from packaging is to create a udev rule that runs the loader (and
possibly tells uvcvideo to reload; or, even better, gets the USB device
to re-enumerate itself).

Do note that this won't actually work for people with non-UVC cameras for the 
time being.
There's a list of affected models here:

JGJones: The resolution issue is being worked on upstream; Laurent, a
user and myself and going to try and investigate this. The issue relates
to how uvcvideo and the camera handle resolution changes. Apparently,
the camera likes to give out 640x480 even though the application (Skype,
for instance) might request 320x240. There is a workaround for Skype,
but there are other applications where there is none.
