[cpia] some cpia updates now in linux-2.4.19-pre10-ac2

[Duncan Haldane]

Hi,
just a note to announce that some updates to the official
Linux kernel CPiA drivers are now finally in the pipeline:

Alan Cox's kernel series 2.4.19-pre10-ac2 now has
renabled user writes to /proc/cpia/video<n> to control
the camera, and support for the Intel QX3 microscope lights, etc.
(Peter Pregler's cpia-control interface will now work again).

These changes will probably only be in Marcello Tosatti's 
official 2.4.20 kernel when it gets released, since 2.4.19 will be out very
soon.

I will try to continue to feed updates from the CPiA drivers at the sourceforge
CVS repository to the Official kernel, but they need to be fed in small chunks
which makes it not so easy....
