Yup - I have rewritten pix_video for windows a couple of times, one version
using VFW and the other using DirectShow (which unfortunately requires a
recent version of the DirectX SDK to compile).

I should definitely contribute this to CVS.

It will take me a little while to get up to speed with the CVS version of
GEM but I'll try to do that and get a windows compiled version out for those
users who've been requesting it.

Perhaps I should also build some free-standing externals for video input
under windows that can work with the binary GEM-0.87 release?
