Well, that's more than I've done :-)  I was planning on making a start on
it soon (not realizing that Nigel had done so much), but I keep getting
sidetracked by other things.  At the moment I'm playing with a Miro PC TV
tuner/capture card (Bt848-based).  I've got this thing DMA-ing images
straight into my frame buffer :-)

Well, I'm available for beta testing, debugging and code review :-)
