There's a source tree for an xorg 7 version from Gentoo[0] which I have
initial packages based upon[1]. The source files are mostly the same as
the monolithic version, it's just the addition of auto* tools use and
paths to some headers which needed to change.

David Nusinow (CC'd) has offered to be sponsor the packages as part of
the XSF. My plan was to spend today getting them finished up and checked
in to the XSF svn tree. Unfortunately some recent changes in xorg have
broken what I had already so the final tidy up is taking a little longer
than I was expecting.

[0] I'm not sure it's actually in Gentoo proper, but it is linked from
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Gentoo

[1] A version from a few weeks ago is at
http://www.hellion.org.uk/ivtv/debian/ although they don't work with the
current unstable tree.
