+
+I.e., all the files on the right are child classes of
+the v4lelement 'parent' on the left.
+
+* v4lelement handles generic v4l stuff (picture settings,
+    audio, norm/input setting, open()/close())
+* v4lsrc, v4lmjpegsrc handle the capture specific
+    functions. Maybe we'd need a v4lmpegsrc too
+* v4lmjpegsink handles mjpeg hardware playback of video
