ah, and don't bother about v4l2; it is seriously broken in Gem. and since it seems that v4l-1 is going to be removed from the kernel, this means some more work.
I didn't know anyone actually used v4l2.
removing v4l1 support sounds like a rather stupid decision, but then, so was crippling the webcam support (pwc binary-only driver).
it is just rumours, spread on the official (i think) website of v4l(2): http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Video4linux_APIs
i don't know the amount of truth that lies within this page and i haven't checked the 2.6.15-sources.
