I've been hard at work integrating some feature of the Windows driver.
There are four big changes:
1. Automatic sensor frame rate adjustment if the image is
consistently over/under exposed and AEC is enabled.
2. The max_gain is now 8 by default for firmware > 1.02.
3. allowable_overexposure can be set automatically based on
the brightness when flicker control is enabled.
4. AEC/ACB are now more effective for single frame grabs.
In some cases though, AEC may switch back & forth between 2
exposure setings. I haven't found a solution to this yet
other than turning off AEC after it reaches a good setting.

Patch from Scott J. Bertin <sbertin@mindspring.com>
- Clean up convert420
- No longer adjust compensation gains if they go below the
minimum that can be set.
- Added a timeout while waiting for the stream to become ready.
- Incorporated parts of the Windows driver:
- Fix some problems with the exposure settings.
- Improved handling of camera parameters for the first frame.
- Improved flicker control, including an "auto" setting for
allowable_overexposure and monitoring for 1-02 firmware.
- Automatic frame rate adjustment if AEC is enabled and the
image is consistently over/under exposed.
- If the stream state enters STREAM_PAUSED while waiting for
STREAM_READY, clear it (untested).
