The next version of the official gqcam will have it. I will not backport.
In the meantime edit the source.

It's already in the TODO. But feel free to send me a patch.

See the TODO, waiting for your patches. ;)

We used none per default because the first frame has to be loaded
uncompressed. So for a single frame grab none was the best setting. But I
think the load-first-frame uncompressed code now works. So I guess we can
change that back to auto. Any objections, Scott?
