When you upgrade to bttv2 + videodevX the dependancies to v4l2-cc go
away (you may have to remove the old v4l2-cc and videodev files).  The
v4l2-cc system was a much more elegant way of handling the bttv
subsystems, but due to the masses of cards out there it became
hopelessly impractical to maintain the two separate access methods.

(If anybody wants to reintegrate and maintain the v4l2-cc subsystem,
feel free!)
