Barcode scanner

[Sebastian Held]

The new driver inside the kernel has dropped support for format conversion. 
Now the applications responsible for conversion. Interestingly the call to set 
a RGB24 palette succeeds, but does set an other format...

I reworked the code to use libv4l ( 
http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html )

Copy the attached files into $tellico_source/src/barcode (old one will be 
overwritten). The libv4l is gpl2, thus distribution is possible. The Makefile 
is patched (patch included) to generate static libs.

Change $tellico_source/src/Makefile.am (line 23):
from:
LDADD_LIBBARCODE = ./barcode/libbarcode.a
to:
LDADD_LIBBARCODE = ./barcode/libbarcode.a ./barcode/libv4l/lib/libv4l1.a 
./barcode/libv4l/lib/libv4l2.a ./barcode/libv4l/lib/libv4l2convert.a
(on one line!)

This version works again on my gentoo system with kernel 2.6.30.

Someone should really code a nice gui for barcode recognition.
