Add a -lc on the end of the library list -- some versions of libc don't 
work right when you link with -g.  I guess I'll add this for the next 
version, which will probably be out tonight -- I've suddenly found 
myself with time on my hands.  Anyway, I haven't fixed much, but I have 
changed a few things and I've added some debugging code to see what's 
happening in the other cases.

I've also made autoprobing for the QuickCam the default.  You can 
override it on the command line or with the qcam.conf file.

I'm not sure what else I'll have time to do, but I'll see what I can 
squeeze in between Friends and ER.
